The Collecting "Hunt" by percentage......

[SMPEP]

In my opinion, this poll has it all wrong. The "fun" is the long hard "hunt" that is finally rewarded with "ownership."

I've been chasing the 1952 Topps Grey back Reiser for many years now. When I get one (see what I did there!), it will have been an incredibly rewarding "hunt." Until I get one, this "hunt" has annoyed the hell out of me! (Damn you Pete Reiser!)

Cheers,
Patrick

If between the two polls it adds for me to 180+%, does that mean I collect Too much, or am I having Too much Fun?

I laughed at that. I am at 160% but I think these should be taken on their own.

Nothing wrong with having too much fun. In most cases any way. 140% here.

Kind of like my hunt for W572 cards. Been stalled at 14 cards left for a long time and you start to wonder if the cards even exist. Still nice to look ans see what you have collected so far.

Ken - I was actually going to list the final 9 W572s as my other example! I know that at least 5 of these last 9 exist, and 2 more were graded by one of the grading companies.

But Rapp and Barbare ... I can't find any evidence that they exist other than their inclusion in the checklists. (If you have them - please post a picture!)

I absolutely love hunting for signed T206 cards. But, when "Hunt's" auction knocks me out of bidding prematurely, and the prize escapes my greedy paws -- well, then it is absolutely excruciating and I contemplate "hobbycide"

Dd not have them but I wish I did. Do you have both sets in sepia and white card stock? I knew you were collecting them last time we spoke. I still look for W572 but my focus has moved to T205 Cubs to relieve the boredom. Only W572 that I have in my set that you do not is Cadore. It is the only one I have ever seen.
