I started the Monster in Jan 2013. I settled on two priorities:

1.) I set a timetable of completing the set (minus the big 4) in 10 years. This has me buying a little over 50 cards/year. For me this is doable. For me it was important to set a time table......basically made it a game as well.

2.) I decided I would only buy the nicest centered cards in 3-5 grade range with the majority in the 3-4 range. To me, having high eye appeal cards was important. It definitely has made me pickier.

I am at 74 (I think...have to check because I just got two more in the last day) so I am off of my plan but should make up for it next year.

Another fun thing I did was start a thread posting my journey. Kinda fun for me to document my journey.
