Main collecting focus at this time

[commishbob]

Finishing 1961T, a lesser emphasis on a couple of others...75 & 76

[pawpawdiv9]

Other- nothing particular.
More of a High-End/white-whale/centerpiece maybe prewar.
or could be just a upgrade of a card.

[PowderedH2O]

In the process of selling many sets and partial sets. Enjoy bouncing around too much. So, no focus at all.

[Orioles1954]

Other: I no longer collect. I wonder how many are like me who enjoy reading what's going on in the hobby but no longer buys cards for a personal collection.

I put b, but e might be more applicable. I am only collecting specific players, but also only looking for specific cards, not just any card of those players. I have a very specific want list that I am working on.

[pitchernut]

Specific player in a non same player way RC's for no-no pitchers from 1900 on, with the accompanying next day newspaper article.

[Joe_G.]

Other . . .

Primarily a team collector (quite a few forum members collect this way).

My one rule breaker is N333 Newsboys in which I'm interested in any/all teams.

[Throttlesteer]

Other - Mid-grade T206s other than the portraits that people keep paying WAY too much for. $8300 for a PSA 4 Young?????? Someone is smoking something

[Touch'EmAll]

My collecting focus is outbid notices.

[mrreality68]

The hardest part is definitely staying focused
I am looking to upgrade on Rookie Joe Jackson or Rare Joe Jackson’s and Boston Redsox Babe Ruth
But while I wait for the right card and deal/price other interesting cards catch my eye and I jump in and get them of course what I really want comes up and then the resources are not available

Finally regroup and sent others to auction to get the resources so I am back on the hunt(hopefully)

I have been all over the place over the last few years but in the last year I have settled down to focus on two specific set building areas.

I am building the sets I built as a kid, sets that helped stoke my love for this hobby. The 1973-77 Topps baseball sets have always been my primary interest and I finally decided to plug away and work on these sets when great lots of cards are found or singles can be had at a reasonable price.

I have always loved vintage cards and the 1956 and 57 Topps baseball sets always sparked my interest. I fell into some decent commons and stars for the '56 set that gave me a push to go that way and so I intend to build this set with cards that have great eye appeal.
