If T206 is the gateway drug, perhaps we should establish a half way house for those collectors, but should it be at 262, halfway to 524, or at 500, halfway to the ultimate Monster Number of 1000.

I'm a set guy, even though I'll never get the last 13 T206 cards. After 6 years though, I'm still not bored. However I am already past both of the halfway houses proposed above, and have picked up a wide variety of type cards along the way other Ts, Es, Ms, Rs, etc. So in addition to my Monster collector status, I am also an "alphabet soup type collector".
