Staying focused
The hardest part is definitely staying focused
I am looking to upgrade on Rookie Joe Jackson or Rare Joe Jackson’s and Boston Redsox Babe Ruth But while I wait for the right card and deal/price other interesting cards catch my eye and I jump in and get them of course what I really want comes up and then the resources are not available Finally regroup and sent others to auction to get the resources so I am back on the hunt(hopefully) https://www.flickr.com/photos/144250...in/photostream

I have been all over the place over the last few years but in the last year I have settled down to focus on two specific set building areas.
I am building the sets I built as a kid, sets that helped stoke my love for this hobby. The 1973-77 Topps baseball sets have always been my primary interest and I finally decided to plug away and work on these sets when great lots of cards are found or singles can be had at a reasonable price. I have always loved vintage cards and the 1956 and 57 Topps baseball sets always sparked my interest. I fell into some decent commons and stars for the '56 set that gave me a push to go that way and so I intend to build this set with cards that have great eye appeal.

Right now, I'm concentrating on finishing my T205 set, and collecting San Diego Padres game-used bats, with an emphasis on the 1984 and 1998 teams, along with Padres in the Hall of Fame.
