If it's because of a great scarcity, that just makes it a fun and long hunt, and if I don't finish, it's still a fun chase.
If it's because of autographs that don't exist or cards that are just difficult because they are expensive and pumped by investors, that's not fun.
Have a blast building my boxing sets that take years and years. Took me 20 years to build my favorite set, T220 Silver, because of the 2 extreme rarities, but that was a fun time. Leaf baseballs, 1952 Topps, a bit less fun because the challenge is a challenge of $$$, not effort, the hunt, diligence. I just accumulate cards I don't have in those issues and enjoy it, without any serious attempt to complete because I'm just not willing to pay that much money for commonly found cards.
