I think the point many people here are making is that he was acquiring these cards at a very brisk pace. He didn't stop to enjoy these cards, at least it seems, just acquiring a big lot and buying upgrades. With infinite funds I could go on eBay right now and acquire almost all of the t206 set, but what fun would that be? I'm not sure what his intentions were for completing the set, investment or pleasure. Investment wise it would be advantageous to buy a whole lot then acquire card by card. Pleasure wise I believe it is better to take the scenic route and enjoy the journey.

Jake really?

How can you assume or say Josh didn't enjoy his cards, he just told you he did?

You have no first hand insight into Josh’s feelings he had when he collected this set. The very way you just claim he didn’t enjoy them because the way he collected them is insulting. Jake I bought my Obak sets in REA a few years ago one big swoop…are you now going to tell folks I don’t enjoy them or there’s no way I can enjoy them as much as say Tbob (Hi Bob) who did it more card by card than I did?



BTW I hear all this all the time "if I had unlimited funds it wouldn’t be fun."

All pure BS having unlimited funds doesn’t make the hobby any easier. Sure certain issues would be easier that goes without saying but then you would find yourself in N167 land…or N172 master set land…or the countless other obscure issues that no matter how much money you have they won’t come easy. Let’s also be real I’m not going to add a T206 Wagner anytime soon on a budget some things in this hobby just cost money and we shouldn’t belittle those who can afford to enjoy them. Let alone judge someone’s enjoyment of a hobby on how they see fit to collect cards.

Cheers,
