Great Phrase - Great Thread
Finally I have a great phrase to use to describe my entire collecting life!
But, some of my favorite cards were a result of significant mission creep. I say don't avoid it and enjoy the unpredictable ride. It's how I went from being exclusively a T206 collector to having this wonderful card:

I avoid this by being missionless. Well, I have one mission: buy cards I think are cool.

Mission explosion. I like that. Started with a Jackie Robinson focus. Then 1947 Dodgers. Then Dodgers. Then baseball. Then...ugh. Mission creep. But the ride is fun. I'm on the memorabilia side of things. Never done cards except as a young pup. But they are dang cool. This forum has opened a whole new world.

Seems like every week I say (a) "that should do it for now, can't see anything else I'm interested in" closely followed by (b) "wow's that's cool. Better grab that now."
This week it's the Propagandas cards from Cuba. Next week/month who knows. . . . . . Seems like there is always something cool lurking behind the next turn. Last edited by Snapolit1; 04-02-2016 at 10:39 AM.

I love that moment when I first realize I've officially "mission crept." I'll get a new card, sit down to log it into my records, and realize, "oh sh*t, I think I'm building a Delong set now."
