Recently I have lowered my "condition tolerance" for the sets I collect. For my type collection, I have adjusted both my condition tolerance and my player tolerance. I can't afford a top-level HOFer in top condition for an E-or T-card type set. So I look for either lower-tier HOFers or semi-stars in presentable condition or lesser-known players in better condition. And sometimes for tougher types, I just look for a nice-looking card of whoever I can get at what I think is a fair price (e.g., one of the E100s in the last LOTG auction).
