I admire people that have the dedication and passion to put together full sets. Especially fully graded sets in high condition that take many years to acquire. They aren’t chasing only the big stars or only care about generating increased value of their collection. It’s about reminiscing and celebrating a by-gone era, remembering names of guys you totally forgot about or didn’t know. Researching who these guys were, what type of jobs they had in the offseason, understanding a time when guys played for the passion of the game, not for money or fame.
Anyone with a fat budget can buy an expensive card and quickly show it off. But a complete set in high grade is astounding! It shows the character of the collector, somebody that put the time and effort to carefully assemble a work of art.
