Jason Lcontinue to blow me away with your collections
98% of the T3? What, pray tell are you missing!?
I have 100% of the set...on my wantlist!
I have never been much of a set collector because of a very bad experience as a very naive young collector. At the age of 13, I put together the 1984 Fleer from packs I had bought with my allowance. I very soon after got a lesson in dealing with adults (and dealers), as I had an experience where I was pressured by a card shop dealer to sell it (which I did)...for I knew was half the price it took me to assemble it. That burned me all summer. Until I got even by price switching a '78 Murray rookie and bought it for a dollar from his unknowing assistant. Only such thing I have ever done. Not proud of it, but even to this day, I haven't met a guy (in or out of the hobby) who was more deserving!
anyway, so I have been a player and subset collector ever since then
When I teach my son about it, there will be a very deliberate economics lesson attached!
