Are you a set collector or a top 10 cards collector

[g_vezina_c55]

After the top10 colltion thread i have the idea to do a poll for know what kind of collector you are :

A set collector or a tops 10 collector.

A top 10 collector is a collector who buy cards from many different set and build a collection of only his favorite cards doesnt matter of the serie..

Fir my part, since i start in baseball cards i can said i was a set collector but after a years i start change my mind...
All my life i was a top10 collector and i think to move my collection in a near futur in a top10 collection

Definitely a top 10 collector for the most part, I am however trying to tackle a major set at the moment, we'll see how far I get, lol.

[Zone91]

100% a top 10 at the moment I will most likely try to complete a set once the rarer are out of the way.

Both. I have a list of 100 attainable cards I want to own by my 40th B-day and am currently working three sets with plans for my next 3-5 sets.

I've nearly completed two sets, and now occasionally pick up a nice card in an unrelated set.
And I may do more of this approach in REA auction.

Hi Nelson,

Thanks for posting this poll.

I am a set collector, by nature. Wish I had the resources to chase down my top ten cards. They have been mentioned on this board many times. For example, there is the T206 Wagner (and the Plank...great card you have there.)

Best Regards,

Eric

NEITHER - I collect type cards and cards of certain players. So, I didn't vote.

I'm a set collector by nature and if it wasn't for the cost, I'm sure I'd prefer collecting everycard in my favorite sets.

I did start a pre-war type collection a little almost 2 years ago. I trick myself into thinking it is a set by aiming for 100 different types, although I have more than one example of some of my favorite sets..........So that probably loosely fits your description of top ten collector.

At the end of the day, if a card in my collection doesn't fit within some set or subset I've defined no matter how loosely, then it has to go.... it's just the way I am sometimes it's a curse but it's all good

I guess I'm a little of each...but more so a collector of cards I like and want to own...I no longer have any rules!!!!!!

My E94 set is the largest set I've completed vintage-wise...I'm going after a 19th c set...but is much smaller.

I have a handful of "projects" some of which may lead to set collecting...but I doubt it...commons are just that...common!!!!

Set collector. Definitely.

I'm presently working on two sets. 2013 Topps Heritage, and the T-201's. One more readily available than the other....
