+1 That was totally uncalled for.

After re-reading, I believe I have found the offending card. I'm am not the most guilty of collecting this particular piece of cardboard, but I admit, I do my part.

Behold the subject that is behind this thread.

Bahahha jealous? Yes, guilty as charged!!!

Reason behind the thread not so much. Just in general it drives me nuts I'd love to own just one of those king Cobbies!!!

It goes for, all the high end T206s. WAJO would be another that comes to mind not as expensive but I'd just love to own one and when I see those with more than 1 I feel discouraged.

Realistically speaking I'd love to and hope to achieve the 500 mark someday!

My most desired cards are the ones that's tough to swallow when I'd just like to own a "decent" example. Again I'm not sure how to say it without sounding like an a-hole. Jelousy is a hard thing to overcome with such great collectors and collections out there!

But I did figure I can't possibly be the only one and figured it'd make a great discussion. We're over 30 posts now so I guess I was right! It got some ppl talking and some lurkers as well!

Josh, I really enjoy collecting. It is a great release for me, and I love the nostalgia. I have always been a postwar guy, but I am really thinking (for a second time) about going the T206 route. No matter what "thing" we are talking about in life, we are always going to run across people who have more than us and people who have less than us. Like others have already stated, I have found it important to enjoy and appreciate what I do have. I won't tell you that I haven't caught myself eyeballing something out of my reach from time to time or getting frustrated at not getting a card that I want, however, I quickly slide back into my own projects and move on. At the end of the day, I feel fortunate to be in a position to be a collector at all when I consider how desperate the lives of some people are.
