Ive hit a critical point in my collection. Ive thought about doing this that and everything in between. The bottom line though is I dont really have enough money to do a player collection to the level Id want. Nor do I have enough money to do a team collection that Id really enjoy. So Ive decided to take some time off and figure out the best route for me.
I guess the point of this thread is how did you arrive at the focus of your collection? And what keeps you focused on that aspect?
The thing Im thinking about doing is starting to chase topps sets from 1977-current year. Figure Id start with 77-86-10, 77 because the year I was born, 86 cos the year I first bought baseball cards, and 10 is complete already. But then Im torn if I should do traded and or update sets as well. Most of the earlier traded sets I could buy completed. But Im not sure if I want all or just the base sets.
I have to find something to better suit my budget because I enjoy the hobby and love trading online. However, my current budget just dont allow alot of extra money to buy any of the newer high end stuff. And I got a felling another year or two like this one and Joey Votto will have alot of high end stuff.
