Collecting sets you can't complete

Do y'all also go after sets that are or effectively are "uncompleteable" either because of some extreme scarcity, huge values, or otherwise?

I am chasing the 1948 Leaf set in a way that doesn't seem like it can ever be "complete" and wondering how others view this conundrum. Is it nice to have an infinite hunt or unsatisfying to never say job done? Any input or examples is appreciated.

For details on mine, I am going after the 98 cards in the 1948/1949 Leaf set all with IP autos, but I don't think more than ~65 of those 98 have ever been signed. So, I don't really know when I'll ever be "done" with this, which is odd.
