Type Collectors- What is your focus?

[jimivintage]

Always been a HOF collector AND set collector. This is a MAJOR problem! I can't EVER seem to finish what I started because, quite simply, my eyes are far too big for my wallet. I work hard on one project and I get duped into another project because....well, it looks pretty or fun! I don't know how some of you guys do it....year after year with the same goals in mind. I'm lucky to keep the same project for a month!

That being said, my current projects are:

- A sample of each HOFer, with the earliest card of each player I can get.
- 1957 Topps PSA 8 only set
- 1923 Lections
- And a rather odd way to approach a new project....I thought I would try and grab a card from each set a like one at time, starting with card #1 for each set. So, I will grab a T206 Abbatachio, a '52T Pafko, a '23 Lections Chance, etc. Once I get the #1 card of the set, I simply move to card #2. I know...weird, but we'll see what happens.

- I also have a few random projects that I don't work too hard on including both basketball and football HOFer collection (much like the baseball HOF collection), 1948 - 1954 Bowman run (only raw VGish cards)....I don't really have much yet, a 1962 Topps PSA 7 set, and I've even thought about working on some non-sports stuff, although I don't know anything about them.

Sorry for the long post.
