What card or set has kept your excitement for collecting going strong?
I'm sure we all have hot and cold periods of collecting. Sometimes it seems that there is nothing left to collect, and other times items seem to show up all at once.
There is a fine line between staying focused on your collecting interests, and not drifting off and purchasing items that really don't fit your collection. Patience is certainly required.
Whenever I feel like I have reached the end, one particular item gives me hope, namely the colored S74 silks of Chief Meyers.
Not only were they issued in so many colors, and they were printed in several color inks, but they can be found with Old Mill and Turkey Red Ads. The end result is that it will provide a fun collectible for me to chase for years to come. Unfortunately, I'm able to only add about one new silk per year.
So what card or set serves as a catalyst to keep your passion for collecting going strong?
