Building a "Top Ten" Collection

[jimivintage]

So, I have always loved HOFers and set collecting, but I really don't have the budget to collect EVERYTHING that I have typically wanted in the past, so I've decided I'm just collecting what I want at that particular moment instead of set guidelines. Those who have known me for awhile have seen me switch around my collection a bit weaving in and out of e98s, HOF RC collecting, 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivos, t206s, t205s, n28s, post war sets, T222 Fatimas, and plenty more.

So at the moment I'm focusing on HOFers in which I like the looks to, or have rare t206 backs, or a tough RC, and sort of building a TOP TEN of sorts. Basically, if I see something else that I'd rather have in my "top ten" then I will need to sell something to make it happen. SO, I don't consider any of my cards, necessarily, to be items that'll be stored away forever. No card is totally off the table, so long as there's something "cooler" out there I'd rather have. Make sense?

Anyone else doing a similar collection? Seems to me that I remember a guy on Net54 doing something like a Top 25 or something a few years ago. I could see my collection growing from "top ten" to "top 25" to building an insane HOF Collection, if I start making more money. I don't spend a dime of our income, so I have to make "wise choices" when I purchase things since there is a chance that the card would be sold some time down the road.

For what it's worth, I still LOVE HOF RCs, but knowing I'm not going to get 300 RCs anytime soon, I'm narrowing my focus for the time being.

There's got to be other freaks here like me RIGHT?!?!?

A handful in the top ten....for now....
