How focused are you in your set collecting?

I am working on 55, 56, 58, and 59 sets, but if I see something that catches my eye, I buy it....within my budget of course.

Big set builder here (along with my 13 yr old son).

But I personally find it VERY hard to stay on topic.

Just like right now, we have been working on the 1956 topps football set since the Chicago National. Yet in the past week I have purchased an E121 Maranville and a Nielson's Chocolate type II common.

We only need like 8-9 more 56's, yet I find myself spending that money on Pre War, which pisses my son off :-(

I am not a big set builder by any means, but I did try twice. First with 52 Topps, got in a little over my head. Then I tried 41 Play Ball, which I certainly could have finished, but chose not too. My attention wanders and I tend to purchase cards that I find interesting, and are available at a fair price. Even now I'm supposed to be working on a Mantle run, but continue adding other cards.

I'm a set builder, just finished the 52 low numbers. I also have these started 51 red back graded, 52 High, 53,54,55,56,57,59,62,64 topps giants graded, 69, 69 deckle, 70, 71 and 72. all different stages but I am trying. I also need 1 75 mini brett rookie.

as if that wasn't enough I have a 69 football and (2) 86 fleer basketball started.
I find it hard to stay on task with a set that is why I have so many started.

but I figured all I have is time to finish what I can. I would like to have topps set from today back. I have 1973 to present complete but for 2015. so its a start. I like the older cards in sets and I will be looking for the sets I don't have at least starter sets I can upgrades for 51 blue,58,60,61,63, 64,65,66, 67,68 sooner then later.

good luck all. I am always to looking for trading partners...

In terms of focus I am the Mr. Magoo of collecting.

My main focus is the 1961 through 1963 Post Cereal and Jello Cards US and Canadian. I have a master set of 61 baseball. (A card from each box and company cards) I am working on master sets of 62 and 63 US Baseball. I have a complete set of 63 Canadian football including 2 albums, one in French and one in English. I have all of the newer Post sets including Jello and Kraft boxes from Canada (Hockey)

I am a Tiger fan and have much memorabilia and cards.
