One Card at a Time

rob...good luck in your collecting futures. i've been collecting vintage bb for over 20 years...albeit very slowly and somewhat passively. i've passed on so many great cards in my lifetime because i thought prices were too high. since joining this board...prices have multiplied exponentially...and my goal of type collecting has become a fantasy. Seeing Leon's almost complete type collection...and many other great collections on this/other sites...is truly amazing and inspiring. But...unless you're filthy rich...you can't get caught up in others' collections too much as practically every significant card ever made is represented on this board. I decided to just start collecting what I like...not type's because I "need" them for completion. As prices have retreated somewhat I've somewhat returned to type collecting and I will always be one at heart.
