Scott beat me to a lot of points I was going to answer you with. So, I will simply
describe a serious set collector with two words "discipine" and "patience".
One of the aspects that I have really enjoyed in putting together numerous sets
over the years is the challenge of a given set's Series breakdown, fully understanding
it; and then, really "digging" in and first going after the tougher series cards.
And, I get the impression you are a "perfectionist" and when it comes to set building
99% of the time you want to complete it. However, this for the most of us does not
apply to "Monster" sets like the T206. The 1st set I put together (521 cards) I came
within 2 (at that time) of having a complete set. But, with a young family and more
important priorities back in 1985, there was no way I was going to spend big $$$$$
for those last two cards.
