I can relate to this and speak about it "just as" I'm starting to make the turn from set completion to set upgrading. I went after the 1948 Leaf set in September and just completed it about 2 weeks ago (yay!). My original goal was to complete the set. I distinctly remember saying that. But even before I got my last card I already found myself glaring down at my lower grades with a bit of a grimace on my face and pawing around Ebay and the auction houses for upgrades.
I now realize that the set completion isn't going to be the end game, but I now realize that I'm really happy it's not. If it was the end, I guess I'd be "done." Although I didn't really anticipate any yearnings AFTER I had the set, I guess I'm glad they're there, because they're keeping me in the hobby, keeping me looking at Leafs, keeping me looking at the auctions, and in general making me happy. |
