What do you do when you can't find anything to add?

[Mark70Z]

I typically work on one of my side projects I have going on when I hit a dry spell. They are typically less expensive items that I really don’t actively search.
Here’s the issue I have had and continue to have with doing this (this is probably just me so you’ll probably be fine). While the side project is less expensive items I start to purchase these type items and continue to purchase and then don’t have enough money when an item I really like more comes available.

That's a concern of mine, so I definitely here you.

Of course, as I'm responding to this post a couple of lineup cards I like pop up, along with a card that I am interested in. Didn't realize it was that easy

Start selling?

Get some therapy?
More seriously, looking through auction catalogs, either current or past, always gets me revved up to add some new stuff. I have an extensive stash of old catalogs from AH’s. Come to think of it, I should probably throw those out and be more content with my collection.

Collecting is the therapy

Here are a couple of items that show there is always uncatologed stuff that fits your focus
1. Behold Thy brother - fictional integration accounted published in 1950
2. The Negro is Sports
3. Woodcut from 1880 edition of the Fairport Nine- published in St Nicholas Magazine- early baseball story where black character makes the game saving out
4. Page from handmade scrapbook that contained the box scores and write ups for the 1886 Buffalo team from the International league - important as this team featured a 21 year old player named Frank Grant - the negro leaguer who would be elected to the HOF
