I'm not done. I still need about 25 tickets. I know a guy collecting all Nolan Ryan games. He has been at it longer than me! Guess what? Not done. I know another guy collecting all Ripken's streak games. He's been at that longer than me. Guess what? Not finished, and he bought out a rivals collection not long ago. And all 3 of these collections are way more modern than the Jackie set you are looking to do. I'm not telling you not to do it. I'm just saying in this hobby there is no instant gratification. It all starts out well, but it slows up pretty quickly. Sometimes I go more than a year before I get a stub I need. Buckle up for the long haul if you are serious.

Thanks I appreciate that! I'm not trying to complete it quickly, I just don't feel like I have the same passion for the programs as I do the stubs. Gonna give it some time before I make any decisions.

Also, it may be a fun -- albeit frustrating -- pursuit to try and get all of the programs or stubs on your list, but my advice is to not feel like individual items are not worth obtaining if you can't get them all. And while so much fun of collecting is the pursuit itself, do take the time to enjoy what you have. If you've purchased a lot of items in a short period of time, it's easy to forget to do that.

Looking for Duke Snider home run stubs if you are selling any.
