There is just ONE more item I want to get for my collection and it is well within my grasp. Too bad there is no BIN. That will probably be the last one for a while. My T206 Highlanders will have to wait. I can pilfer a Swackhamer card every now and then, but that would be the most of my collecting activity since he is not a "hot item" and his cards are relatively cheap.
I will soon slow down my collecting activities to a crawl. It is taking its toll on my wallet. I took a step back and I think things were made too easy because of PayPal connected to a credit card. The money I have spent in the last 17 months have gotten me quite a collection, but I still felt something was missing. Something that could have been better well-spent. A ballgame? No. Companionship? Not quite. And then there it was - a National Geographic travel catalog. I've always wanted to see the Serengeti. I've always wanted to travel to some exotic place in the Pacific. I've always wanted to take first-hand pictures of the Himalayas. Now I've decided to do those things. Within the next 10 years, that will be my goal: The Serengeti wildlife, Polynesian Islands, and the mountains of Tibet. I will sacrifice a lot, but I know it will be worth it.
