At least most of the time.

Yup, in my original post I had also said $$s don't really belong in an equation talking about a collector's focus, unless $$ value is actualy part of that collecting focus/goal, like just collecting the most valuable card in different sets, for example.
What I can't figure out is exactly what the OP is really trying to measure though. He mentions different things in different posts, as I noted earlier in this thread, that don't all seem to coincide. It is a nice little exercise though that others in this thread seemed to enjoy, so that is good. I just don't see how it can truly be meaningful in measuring overall collecting focus when his formula is based primarily on the $$ value of a single card. Unless his definition of focus differs greatly from what I believe it would mean to the average person.
