Collecting and completing sets

[smtjoy]

I have been working on an exhibit run for 10 years, down to only 4 sets, completed one set this year, 1938. Happy to get this last card-

I was a type "set" collector. Now I won't go for the set but I think many of us are wired to collect the way we do. This collection will be "some" type cards this time.

I almost always have a putter around set...it's 1955 Bowman football right now. It's fairly low grade and just for fun. I have a long term 1961 Topps set that is pretty high grade and I am knocking it out a few cards at a time. I have a duplicate set of 1969 Topps Set and a 1955 Bowman that I'll trade once they're done. My big set I finished this year was 1941 Play Ball.

At some point this year I'll look for a buy of opportunity...something I feel is a good buy that i can work on.
