The reason it doesn't work well for me is that I either forget about it or move onto something else. That's what's caused me to resort to making larger purchases while concentrating on one goal at a time.<br /><br />Glad to see I was able to send a few cards you needed your way. I'll take a look and see if I have any cards I missed, likely from 2018 Chrome or Ginter.Henry Blanchettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702088556673492509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-74571216945326873522018-08-13T15:13:33.574-04:002018-08-13T15:13:33.574-04:00Amen on piecing sets together.

The starter lot method is my go-to.<br /><br />Unless I can trade for a series 2 (and Update) set this year, I'll regret not buying the factory set. Only because I have zero interest in any of the inserts or hits. That's unique for this year. Most of the time I might skip an insert set or two (from bloat or scarcity, but those are the fun parts otherwise.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-71444609316017176832018-08-13T10:52:43.027-04:002018-08-13T10:52:43.027-04:00Buying completed sets may take the fun out of coll...Buying completed sets may take the fun out of collecting... but I just don't have the patience (need to save that for the classroom). Plus even though you're spending more money in one shot, it's usually cheaper to buy a complete set.<br /><br />By the way... I actually grabbed the 1974, 1976, and 1977 sets. Still need the 1975 Kellogg's. I'm not sure if my hobby budget will actually allow me to cross that set off of my list. But I'm on a mission to pick up the 1978 and 1979 sets before the end of the year.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-80614560916177206622018-08-13T09:25:46.432-04:002018-08-13T09:25:46.432-04:00The last set I did 67 Topps I went the route of th...The last set I did 67 Topps I went the route of the Commish.

I got the 70 Kelloggs set as a kid for a few box tops and 9 bucks. I think it was in 1972. Still have it stored in a box.

Now this isn’t always the case, when I was regularly building sets I was always hunting for a card or two at a time.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-44569662908452303452018-08-13T00:09:14.569-04:002018-08-13T00:09:14.569-04:00I don't enjoy getting a whole set at once as m...I don't enjoy getting a whole set at once as much as I do putting them together one card at a time.

I tend to split the difference by grabbing a starter lot, sometimes a large one, and finishing it off card-by-card. <br /><br />Your comment about never having the cash to buy a set reminded me of the time a kid in our school bought an entire box of wax packs. I don't even remember what year it was, just that the other guys were dumbfounded.<br /><br />Oh...that Fritz swatch might be a shirt...http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/08/sock-fritz-us-open-tennis/60361/ Maybe notCommishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.com
