Defeated by the Monster?

[BleedinBlue]

When I started the monster my biggest concern was how to go about eating the elephant. For me the answer was to cut the beast into bite size pieces. I started with a Brooklyn subset which allowed me to see an achievable ending and actually accomplish this objective within a reasonable time and budget. Then I decided that it would be kinda cool to approach the set alphabetically so I took on the 14 "A" cards. Then the "B"'s, etc. Somewhere along the line I decided to pick up the non-SL minor leaguers as an inexpensive subset. And so on and so on and so on. For me the objective has always been 520/524 so except for the big 4, everything was on my wantlist somewhere, the key for me was prioritization. Now I sit at 411/524 and my wantlist is the remaining 109 cards. Finding them in grade at a price I am willing to pay has slowed down the hunt considerably over the past 3 months but I'm still chipping away. Picked up #411 last night (Steinfeldt w/bat, PSA 3.5).
