Do people not enjoy the true essence of collecting anymore?
Part of the fun of collecting is it takes awhile to complete which is what makes having a master set so satisfying. It’s the same concept as accomplishing pretty much anything else. Why is 20 pull-ups satisfying? Because it takes long to be able to get to that point and most people never get there. I’m honestly very surprised at how many people complain about how “hard” it is to complete sets. That’s the point!
I find it hard to understand where the satisfaction is of being able to complete sets before a new one comes out. Getting the last card for a 3-4 month old set is extremely satisfying to me. If all of them could be done before the next one came out, where’s the satisfaction when you know all the other players are doing it too?
What’s more satisfying to you guys? Seeing every single person on your friends list with complete sets too or being one of the few who has some completed while everyone else is still searching?
