Just wondering what people might say to this, given that we have this great new site... |

tends to shift all over the place. I mostly own post war, but I enjoy owning several pre war examples, and look to obtain a few choice others. |

You are saying that you have been equally one-minded (HOFer RCs) on each side of the pre- and post-war fences? |

For buying purposes -- not that I am currently going out of my way to buy -- I am tending to focus more on pre-war. There are many issues that I'd like to type collect in the future. |

I work on sets from a few eras at any given time. It's the Davillilo strategy, if a set or era gets hot you focus on another one till it cools down. Saved me tons of money over the years. |

Yes, Jason. I do both sides, pre-war and post-war HOF RC's. |

My set spans all periods, including the present. I shift my thrust from era to era in an effort to maintain balance as I complete my objectives. Right now, I'm back in the 19th century primarilly. |

with post-war cards...as there are so many, I try and collect relatively fewer of them. With pre-war, I tend to move towards rarity and sometimes pick up some real beaters just to have one in my collection. |

More disciplined on pre-war. I would likely be very hesitent on starting a new pre-war set but pretty much any 50s or 60s set in any sport that I did not have that was in 8 or better I would buy. |

When you can find stuff at five bucks or less in top condition, buying a dud just isn't a consideration that prevents you from going forward. I know I bought a bunch of high grade postwar at the National beause it was so darn cheap--yet I'd basically given up on actively collecting postwar. But when I am seeing mid-1970s Ryans in PSA 8 for $5 each, I gotta pull the trigger. |

And the best part is finding cards from my childhood (the real one, not the current extended one) at ridiculously low prices and pack-fresh. I paid under $2 a card for raw hockey, football and basketball HOFers from the 1970s. And those cards were really nice and from sets that are notorious for print and centering flaws. |
