Default All of the above
I've been working on a Washington type set since the early 80s.

As with Ed, I don't know of everything that's out there, so I wouldn't ever know if I was "finished." The recent thread about the B-unc felts shows an example of something I didn't even know existed until I saw it.

Rarity enters into it; the Herpolsheimer's all appear to be unique, so unless I can get someone to break one loose then I'm without.

And finances are obviously a limitation. (Well, maybe not so obviously for someone who can plunk down money for a Plank.) In several pre-war issues the only Washington representative is Johnson, which cranks the price up to several times a common.

Then there are the issues where both rarity and price come in. L-1 leathers anyone?

It's a never-ending journey.

Bill

That explains why I never heard back from you back in June. You were down playing it by telling me you were buried with work...

My goals seem to change from year to year and sometimes from day to day. As long as I'm having fun in this hobby = Goal achieved.

I don't really have a collecting "goal".. I just collect as much as possible of cards I like. But I do have a list of rare and classic cards that I want someday.

My ultimate goal is to collect one of every single Cincinnati Reds cards in existance. Clearly this is not an attainable goal, because there are many one-of-a-kinds that may not be offered for sale in my lifetime. Also, many of them are out of my price range, like the Peck & Snyders.

Truth be told, my real goal is to collect as many as I can and enjoy the heck out of the journey.
