Collecting interests?

Anthony, that was funny, and remember, I'm pulling, and rooting for you in whatever challenge you select.

In my case, there happens to be a positive in a negative situation.
Look at it this way.

I'm missing one card from completing the T206 check list.
When I started, I was just letting the hobby happen.
The set was never in my mind.

It was the joy, and challenge of the hunt.

What's over the next hill?

The fun of filling an empty slot.

A throw back to pre Korean war times, pre high school times.

The hobby was my sublimation to combat the real world, and the job.

Do you really think I want to complete the set???
My competitive side says "Hell yes," but my other side says, "If we do that, we'll have to look for another Hill."

The challenge is still there.

Then we have the Bottom Line, when we say, It's complete, when it isn't _ _ _ Who are we really kidding?

Let the set happen.
