As we dive into the world of baseball card collecting, I can't help but wonder about the psychology behind our collecting habits. The recent post from Night Owl Cards highlights a fascinating trend: the urge to jump from one set to another, leaving previous projects in the dust. This raises some intriguing questions for all of us collectors out there.

Do you find yourself gravitating towards new sets or projects, even when you have unfinished business? Is it the thrill of the hunt that keeps you moving, or is it the desire for variety that drives your collecting choices?

Moreover, with the Super Bowl around the corner, the excitement of completing a set before a major event adds another layer to the collecting experience. How do you feel about tying your collecting goals to specific sports seasons or events? Does it enhance the thrill, or do you prefer to collect at your own pace, regardless of the calendar?

And let's not forget about the nostalgia factor. The mention of legendary players like Staubach and Bradshaw brings back memories for many of us. How do these memories influence your collecting? Are you more inclined to chase cards of players you grew up watching, or do you seek out the rarest finds regardless of personal connection?

Finally, what are your bold predictions for the future of card collecting? With the rise of digital cards and NFTs, do you think traditional card collecting will evolve, or will it remain a cherished hobby for purists?

I’m eager to hear your thoughts, experiences, and predictions! Let’s get the conversation rolling!
