Not depression, more like hopeless? T206 collection

[steve B]

I forget how many I have, I think around 250.

I got my first one in I think 1987.
Probably should have bought more of the HOfers and SL, I can't afford many of the cards now, or more like I could but would have to avoid buying much of anything else for longer than I'd like.

That's pretty much rue of all the sets I like.
Collecting something else where completeness is a mirage has helped me get away from having to complete anything.

Kevin, don't throw in the towel, buddy. Collecting, especially T206, is a lifelong pursuit. Fire up your spreadsheet, make a list of a few top priority cards and target them (on eBay, on the BST here, at a show), get a few new cards and that'll without a doubt reignite your collecting bug and passion.

Being on LI, I assume you're not too far from Hofstra? You should hit up the next show there. I haven't been to that show in years, but I remember it usually had a good T206 selection.

Good luck, and as Mickey said to Rocky..."Get in there, Rock!"

I enjoyed the T206 slog, but as I am looking at Topps sets (complete back to 1957 plus a 55) I think I will probably just look at HOFers to save space.

Im in the middle of this as well (about 160 in so far). Taking a break so I can put money towards personal things. I will finish the set but Im in no rush to do so as the cards will always be there.
Sometimes taking a break for a few months is a good thing. Hang in there and remember chase the things you want whether thats completing the set or something else, do what makes you happy
