Show baseball cards from a set you had started and have abandoned.

Too many to count...
-1921, 22, 23-24 Exhibits -E120 -V100 -1934, 35-36, and other Diamond Matchbooks -V122 -N172 (this one about 3-4 times) -etc. Sometimes I think a set would be right up my alley only to find out when I'm half-way there or so that it just doesn't do it for me. The N172's are just cost prohibitive more than anything else-- if I didn't have a wife, kids, and my $240K Student Loan debt I'd probably pursue them more vehemently

Being a set collector, I do not know what it is to quit a set. Have yet to do that!

Ok, I picked up a Yum-Yum and after that decided to abandon my attempt to collect all of them because I could sell every other card in my collection and maybe buy three more.... Oh yeah a pic... well I sold that Yum Yum because I couldn't afford to keep it because someone made a really generous offer for it... I suppose the person that bought it could post that scan...
I've been slowly completing a 1940 Play Ball set for the past 25 years. Every once in a while I pick up a card and come a little closer to getting that set done. It took me 15 years to compelete my first T201 set. I'm just not in a hurry to do those things. I pick stuff up as it comes along at reasonable prices. Doing that makes the hobby a bit more fun and challenging.

I'm not a set collector. Sometimes I think I am and begin a set because I like the cards or issue that much. I once tried the 1918 Zeenuts (impossible) and P2 Sweet Cap Pins. I like both sets to the degree that one card won't satisfy and more than 5 is too much.
I've reconciled myself to the fact that I'm not a completist. I just don't need that satisfaction that comes from finishing a set. I'd much rather search out the next rare jewel and have the resources to pursue it. I try to hold onto a few of the better condition or ones that I like the most if I ever stall on a set. Evidenced by a couple of P2s below. Last edited by Jaybird; 11-26-2011 at 12:35 PM. |

Once I had 20-30 Zeenuts I just kept broadening my Zeenut collection from at first just doing one or two sets, to then just up to 1919, then I got a group of 1922's and I included all up to the B/W era (1924 on), then I just said "screw it" and I'm collecting them all now... 1,800 Zeenuts later I'm only approaching half way (I am a real glutton for punishment!).

If only that money was free to spend on what I like! That is the cost of becoming a Dentist in this day and age. And people wonder why it costs so much to have that crown done!
