I still collect the same way I used to when possible (set building) but it's nearly impossible now as most real sets have been replaced by memorabilia delivery systems...I can't/won't spend $240 for 15 cards. My new focus is on getting one card of every person who ever got one in my three sports. It's a very rewarding project, and I may never be able to finish it, but I'm having a whole lot of fun trying. I've gotten one of my sports down to exactly 25 people missing...all time. And about half of them are people who got their first cards in 2017! Doing this project has allowed me to feel more like a historian rather than just a collector.

Before long, I began to appreciate Panini then the customs caught my eye: Helmar, Gavin, and Gio of WTHBalls fame. As Topps continues to lose its appeal to me, I am more drawn to these cards. acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.com
