Simply serve two masters. What's another 15-ish more sets? I straddle the fence between pre-war (mostly tobacco) and 1950's goodness. You just need to re-set your morning alarm for at least an hour earlier to scroll through all of the eBay searches.

This quote really resonated with me. I still love T206s, but I want a little action on the side!

It may be dramatic but it best sums up the way I approach collecting. I have little tolerance for standing idle. I started with 50s/60s but have retired the Sixties. My Fifties collection is to the point where I needed a little something extra. Enter T206 and friends. Now Topps and Bowman just fill in the empty days between Pre-War scores (mostly). Every once in a while I still go on a Fifties binge to keep the monkey fed.

My thoughts exactly! What's the good of having baseball cards if you can't enjoy handling them (carefully, of course!)?

I think you should now trade for 26,000,000,000,000 1988 Donruss.

This will be the holy grail of your new mega giga peta-collection:

There can be no denying the parallels between drug/booze addictions and a collector's mentality.

Have you every spent money on your monkey you shouldn't have spent?
Have you then spent more?
Have you ever tended to your monkey on the job?
Have you ever arrived late to or left early from work because your monkey needed feeding?
Have you ever cancelled a social engagement to feed your monkey?
Has you monkey-feeding schedule ever interferred with sleep?
Have you ever avoided someone because they do not understand or approve of your monkey?

I could go on but you get the idea. So, How many yeses did you have?

Default Nice '59 stack!
I'm interested in your '59 Topps. I have multiple dupes and we could possibly help each other out.

It's nice to get some action on the side every now and then, but you always know where home is. Just don't neglect your #1.

Just make sure your T206 Ball-and-Chain never finds out about your 1950's action - or you're in big trouble.

I'll give you $1 each for the 1949 Bowman stack and you'll already be making money off the deal!
