Having jumped back into set collecting, there is ALWAYS something new to learn about and hunt down. Sometimes it is almost anti-climatic to actually receive certain cards. I get the box/envelope open, look at the card a while, then it eventually goes into its place in the set in the box, and then I start looking for what's next (if I hadn't already started thinking about what was next before the last package arrived
). I honestly don't go back and look at completed sets or star cards I have purchased like I thought I would. From time to time, I go into my collectibles closet and see the boxes and binders but don't always open them up. The times I do open them up and look through them are when I am checking to see if I might have a variation I have just learned about or when I am too broke to buy anything new just then, so I distract myself with what I already have. That is pretty pathetic isn't it? |

Not in the least. I do it all the time, and every time I go through my collection, without fail, I find something I completely forgot I had. To me, that's the same high as getting something new.

I have also gone the other way...looked for something that I sold but forgot I sold. In this case it was a really nice '53 Bowman Color Musial. I don't sell much ever, and I will never understand why I let go of that one. I have yet to find one that equaled that one, in my eyes at least. |

I pieced together the Topps series 1954-1980 and it was a bit of a letdown when that final card arrived...and I would up selling the 1957-1980 sets less than a year later.
While I still have the three earlier sets, I seem to be picking up a single or two here and there... But, I know I can stop anytime I want...anytime I want...anytime I want... My answer to your question is obvious.

Ha. Opening the mail is probably my least favorite part. Sometimes I go days just staring at the unopened package. I guess I've been disappointed one too many times.
