Is it just about the hunt

I'm a compulsive set collector. For me it's 85% about the hunt and 15% to hold. I've collected and broken up complete or near (within 3 cards) sets of:
E90-2, E90-3, E91-B, E91-C, E92 Dockman, E93, E94, E95, E96, E104-2 (I was complete except for Wagner), T209 Color, Goudey (34, 35, 36, 41), 1941 Playball, at least half a dozen strip card sets. Another 10 prewar sets I've had at least 50% done before breaking them up (including E97, E100, E92 Croft Cocoa, E104-1).

I collected and have kept T210-2, T212-2, T213-2 and 1931 Zeenut.

I enjoy piecing the sets together card by card. Once they're complete, I often find another set to focus on and use one of my old sets as trade bait to start the next one.
