It's fun to find sets and inserts I've never seen before. I also have plenty of 60's and 70's baseball player collections, some of which they still make new (post-career) cards of. Plus I started a few newer guys to see all the post 1985 sets I haven't seen. <br />And then, I've just started into hockey in the last year, so that opens a whole new facet.<br />On top of it all, I'm still going back and working on the core of my collecting - vintage baseball sets from the early 70's and older...GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761568629805670678.post-31615741398271295242010-03-23T15:39:27.202-07:002010-03-23T15:39:27.202-07:00When I start to feel that "lull" everyon...When I start to feel that "lull" everyone talks about I will usually look for something to shift my focus. I might add a new player to collect or some new sub-set.<br />I did this back when I first collected and started to search for cards with players bunting the ball. It made the chase fun again and you really do discover new things when you do this.<br />Now when I feel "bored" or things seem dull I pull out the sub-set and go hunting.LongFlyBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793306032906630764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761568629805670678.post-19619288546266628442010-03-19T18:52:16.278-07:002010-03-19T18:52:16.278-07:00It's not the destination, it's the journey...It's not the destination, it's the journey.<br /><br />I figured out at some point in the mid-80's I wouldn't be able to collect everything, so I went with what made me happy. At the time, that was collecting vintage Topps set with my Dad and collecting Phillies cards.<br /><br />My attention has turned away somewhat from collecting vintage sets, and now I'm pretty much just collecting Phillies cards. Why? For the same reason I started this crazy racket - happiness.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761568629805670678.post-73562719067734339862010-03-19T18:16:38.189-07:002010-03-19T18:16:38.189-07:00i love collecting and the trading part really keep...i love collecting and the trading part really keeps me looking for that great card to trade.
