I have always enjoyed putting my completed sets in binders... and the entire time I've used the 9 cards per page technique. I like being able to look at the card backs... plus I've been brainwashed into thinking that putting two cards into a slot would somehow damage the cards. Last month, I picked up a set that won't fit into a binder comfortably unless I "double-bag" it. I kept going back and forth on whether or not I should break years and years of tradition and was leaning on just keeping the set in a box. But maybe it's finally time to try something new.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-15217619808523016352017-03-31T09:20:32.235-04:002017-03-31T09:20:32.235-04:002008 is the only Heritage I've ever completed....2008 is the only Heritage I've ever completed. It's the first one I tried since it is the '59 design, which I rank comparably to you and the '75s. It took me until about 2016 to do it. I've since somehow become a Heritage collector, but mostly just the base sets, because I've traded bulk lots to get them. I don't even bother with the inserts most of the time either because they're always the same. When I'm fortunate enough to find 'em cheap or be traded shortprints, I'll take them. But like you said, it shouldn't have to be an investment. There are many other non-short-print-saturated sets to go after that are just as fun as Heritage.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84060735860206355192017-03-30T22:22:59.716-04:002017-03-30T22:22:59.716-04:00I second that motion.

At least at the end of a set I can choose to call it complete without the SPs, and I do. When they are scattered, I already don't care if I get them, they can sit on the ole want list forever if need be. If I wind up with one it is usually because someone sent it to me.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-70497976810598616202017-03-30T21:40:48.126-04:002017-03-30T21:40:48.126-04:00Great post!
