What is your collecting focus today?
Posted By: <b>david Poses</b><p>Not sure exactly what I am doing is right now. I am simultaneously chasing E-cards of specific Highlanders players, and am trying to assemble a T209-1 set, which currently stands at 0 cards. I have been stalking certain collectors I know are in possession of said cards, though, so hopefully my amateur sleuthing will yield favorable results. <br /><br />The antithesis of this topic, what am I NOT focusing on, is another matter. I am focusing on NOT buying T206s. They're so readily available and when I can't find something I "need," I find myself buying bits and pieces of The Monster, which I subsequently try to unload on the BST in large lots at a loss so as to finance the aforementioned cards, which are never available anyway. <br /><br />In an attempt to compromise with myself, I have a clause which allows me to buy any Gordon Hickman T206 card I see, which isn't often, as I think I have managed to corner much of the market in the past few years. <br /><br />In summary, my focus is on: (A) preventing T206s from finding their way into my collection, and (B) stalking people who I think might be in possession of tough cards I need for survival. Oh yeah. And the Gordon Hickman thing. And a G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip...
