I consider myself a set collector, yet most of sets are uncompleted, and its not a big deal. <br /><br />The whole point of having the cards is being able to pull out the box and look through it. Its kinda like going back in time to the particular year they were made. If its not completed? oh well.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896780361855961353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365230320342171107.post-5987564652953387182013-04-08T20:11:14.728-04:002013-04-08T20:11:14.728-04:00It was just a couple of months ago that I was in t...It was just a couple of months ago that I was in the exact same position you're in.<br /><br />My advice is to go with #1: Organize what you've got, and as you're going through your cards just think about which sets truly brings you joy and which don't. I think you'll find that once you finally get comfortable with the idea that you don't HAVE to do anything, that your collection is whatever you want it to be, then you'll have your answer. <br /><br />I also think you'll surprise yourself at least a little bit with some of the decisions you make.<br /><br />Good luck, and enjoy the journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365230320342171107.post-78588727967217464262013-04-08T19:59:57.959-04:002013-04-08T19:59:57.959-04:00I like to get everything I have organized first by...I like to get everything I have organized first by entering it online, then I can peruse by "Cards I Don't Have" and add individual cards to my wantlist, or the rest of the set if I'm close and/or like it that much. Of course, it costs nothing to put a card on a wantlist, except having enough to trade for it.<br /><br />So, in short, I'd go with option 1, especially because both 2 and 3 include option 1 as a prerequisite. Maybe some clarity will come as you do that.<br /><br />Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885481981559170900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365230320342171107.post-13595254191924256102013-04-08T17:39:22.279-04:002013-04-08T17:39:22.279-04:00Do what brings you happiness.
Speaking for myself...Do what brings you happiness.<br /><br />Speaking for myself, I found happiness in simplifying my collection. I set short, medium, and long term collecting goals. Whatever doesn't fit in any of my goals, must go. baseballbrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352100745558099186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365230320342171107.post-3163009097763414832013-04-08T16:07:48.893-04:002013-04-08T16:07:48.893-04:00I hear you and your struggles.

If I didn't want it and it didn't thrill me, out it went. If I like it, then I am focused on completing it.<br /><br />To help you (maybe), let me ask you this: Are you a "cpmpletionist"? Do you have to have everything? If so, then you have answered your questions. If not, then which sets do you like? Complete those.<br /><br />I have dang near complete 90 Score set and a couple other junk wax - I don't care about them. I don't like how the set looks, so out it went. Same is true on other sets that I had better than 50%. But there are sets I have low amount of cards, but dang the set looks really nice. So I am going to complete them.

I got super organized and then started to wonder: "What is it all for?". I guess that's why I slowly started to sell off most of my complete sets...Ryan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797481743677208484noreply@blogger.com
