Andy CookI'm a compulsive set collector. I've completed about a dozen prewar sets. I've also gotten very close, but then broke up near sets of E90-3, E92, E94, E95, E97, E104-1, E104-2, T205, T207, T215 (I had 60 different 5 years ago -- I kick myself everyday for giving those up), E121-80, E121-120. Frustration at not being able to find the last couple cards and/or getting down to just a Cobb or Wagner or something terribly expensive has been my main reason for breaking up a near set. I've contemplated breaking up my T213-2 near set (need 12 variations)...but never seriously, it's too important to me. I have broken up some of my completed sets in order to fill in holes in my currently working on sets...E93 and E96 in the last year for example.
