how often do you change your collecting focus?

Bender --

I've got a complete set that I compiled in the eighties, mostly trading Ryne Sandberg and Wade Boggs rookies for! It's 207 raw cards, plus one graded Cicotte that I got near the end (which was the beginning of the graded era). From there, I started working back in time on my Topps sets, which I mostly finished...however, those T205s have always been like a hook. I didn't want to build another complete set, so I figured I'd go for a complete set of backs. Sovereign has 123 cards (I think), with no Cobb - but it has Tinker, Evers, Chance, and the rest of the Cub crew, so I went with that. I really have just started down that road...it's almost as fun trying to document the cards as it is to buy them (almost). I'm also working on those T202s, but have slowed down a bit there. I was deployed to the Middle East for awhile, and when I came back my focus shifted a bit from buying cards to doing other things with my kids...but I think I have a good balance now!

Take Care,
