I voted 90%+, because there's nothing more satisfying than finally picking up a card you've been trying to find for a long time.

I was gonna vote high on this poll but realized that I have as much fun talking to other collectors and hanging out with friends as I do 'hunting' for stuff. 50/50 for me.

I enjoy the hunt quite a bit. Its literally thrilling to me to:
-see something I have never seen before, or -see something for sale that rarely comes up for sale, or -see something for sale I see often, but in considerably better condition, or -see something I see often for sale at a high price, but now priced at a point where I could possibly obtain it. When I can actually put hands on the item as the new owner, the feeling is a mix of awe, wonder, amazement, and pure satisfaction! That is the hunt for me. I actually do enjoy owning the item then for quite some time, and will only consider selling if it no longer fits a collecting focus, which for me seems rare! On the rare occasions I have sold items, though, occasionally I have experienced sellers remorse. This is especially true when I have a "new" collector focus that includes the item I just got rid of. Because of how I obtained the item in the first place, its extremely unlikely I will see another, in the same condition, at the same or better price, without substantial effort on my part, which causes me a mix of frustration and annoyance with myself. Better to keep and enjoy everything you buy!

Honestly...in really thinking about what "the hunt" entails...scouring ebay...pouring through the myriad of auction houses...the bst...attempting to make trades with collectors who think their cards are the second coming of JC compared to yours...I thinking talking about "the hunt" is much more glamorous and enjoyable then actually performing the hunt!
The part of the "hunt" that I do enjoy is actually going to brick and mortar antique stores and "hunting" for treasures...or going to old school live auctions and bidding in a live setting...now I find that fun.
