Jeff,

That is a very good question. What I would recommend is to pick out another side project that is easy to complete and something that is inexpensive. Therefore, you're getting the best of both worlds... Saving up for your main focus, and having fun completing something.

Just my .02

Good Luck

The same happened for me and I haven't been able to meaningfully add to my card collection in months. I picked up a side project but hit the same stumbling block. My recommendation is to use your free time to read about the hobby. i know I am on Net54 more frequently and considering picking back up one of my books.

Maybe people who were influential in Robinson's career?

Clyde sukeforth, the scout?

Dixie Howell teammate

George Shuba "the handshake"?




There must be more

Welcome,
1. You have a disease. Don't be ashamed. We all have it here.
2. Its incurable. Proceed with caution.

Consider a new area to collect. Consider trying something totally different.

I often hit the stumbling block. I try to pay attention to things outside my comfort zone, and during down periods I dabble there. Sometimes for a day, a week, or a few months. Some of my favorite cards I have acquired during this period. Maybe inconsistent with "T206Collector" but I try to keep an open mind.

The smart thing to do is nothing. When you go outside your area of interest you are often just wasting money.
BTW, have you noticed the Syracuse Stars cabinet in REA with Moses Fleetwood Walker. He was the last African-American player in MLB before Jackie and his cards are extremely rare.

During a time when you're not actively collecting more items, perhaps work on improving the storage and/or display of the items you already have.
