My collection comprises several facets commonly viewed as a primary collecting focus. I do not think that this approach is unusual. I bet lots of you use multiple approaches to collecting. What percent of your collection falls into each catagory shown below (ie. to be a set collector, your objective does not have to be the entire set, heck t206 collectors don't typically strive for that, nor do OJ collectors, etc.).

For me: (% of total dollar value)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Set Collector - 20
"Type Card" Collector - 25
Collect Certain Players (multiple cards of the same player) - 5
Collect Cards of Players from Specific Teams or Regions - 5
Investing/Buying to Resell - 0
Collect HOFers - 5
Collect Certain Players For Reasons Other Than HOF - 35
Collect a Certain Genre of Cards Only (ie...only Caramels) - 0
Hoarding - You collect as much of the same thing as possible - 5
Other - 0
