I am a set collector only. Been at it since 1969. Right now I have finished every base Topps set 1951-2023 (except 1952 High numbers), every Bowman set 1948-1955 and every Fleer set 1963 - 1971
I'm running out of projects now as I've even completed every Hostess set, every Kellogg's set, just about every Topps insert set 1964 - 1970 and I'm close to every Post set. My next pivot will have to be to pre war. I haven't decided which ones. I usually avoid those with too many extremely high dollar cards required (i.e. over $1,000). Still considering my options. Maybe 1934 Goudey, or Goudey 4-in-1 We'll see

I am a subset collector. My main focus is prewar Cubs. I have collected a near complete collection of T205 Cubs front backs 149/ 151 and T207 Cubs front/ backs. Also started collecting Jacksonville Florida players.

Set collecting is so much a part of my DNA (but my genes have mutated into other things the last couple of years) that I still shudder whenever I see Steve Foucault's name, because my little self along with my brothers couldn't for the life of us find his frickin' card to finally complete our 1975 set.

I have Topps 1959-1992 complete sets. Good starter sets in 1956-1958. Spotty before that. I guess I got "set builder fatigue" after completing 1959. I really liked that set and wasn't as enamored with 1958 so I just sort of quit. Cost had something to do with it also, although this was well before 2020. Kids getting older and more costly factored in. But I did love building those sets. It was always about the thrill of the chase for me. I remember finding a big group of '67 high numbers from a local guy whose dad had collected them. Left his place with them sitting raw on the front seat of my car. Couldn't get them in the binder fast enough

Not really a set builder but, wouldn't mind finishing the t206 brown hindu set.
Probably going to be a lifelong journey with prices going up

Not really a set builder, that being said, I did finish an E98 Master, 28/30 on my E94, and embarking on an E100. Sticking with 30 card E-sets seems a little less daunting than some of the larger sets to me.
