What got me through was not getting too far over my head at any one time. Work on no more than a couple sets at a time.

I also made things a little easier and "goal achievable" by literally working a series at a time. When I start a set (like 1960, say) i work only on the first 88 cards. That way I usually only have a couple of high priced stars to worry about. When that series was done I went on to the next series. Kind of like the kids did back when the cards first came out.

It made a BIG difference whenever I could hit some smaller goal and then feel good about moving on.
