What's your collecting "definition of success"

[Runscott]

I used to collect small vintage sets, but by the time I completed them, I was bored and ready to get rid of them.

I like the open-ended aspect of photo collecting - while there aren't an abundance of 19th century 'in action' baseball albumens, there are enough to where my collecting of them should never end. And now that I've expanded to pre-wwi silver gels, there's really no end to it. I also have started a 'type' collection of baseball tin-types, trying to get one of each style;i.e-team, action, group, etc. Easy to find them and easy to upgrade.

Oh yeah - 'success' is purchasing without using a credit card.

With the exception of a few scarce 1920's Cuban issues and a few other obscure issues, I'm not a set collector, so I only have that particular bug on a few occasions. Shameless plug for a decent Billiken Lloyd, which would complete my HOF run in that set. I stupidly sold mine years ago. An Eggleston card would be cool too.

Since I'm more of a HOF/star type collector, my basic definition of success is finding a card of that type of player that I have long desired and looked for. Unfortunately, I still have lots of room to be successful
