<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1886573, member: 41863&quot;]I just did something similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>I too was working on a graded type set (which i loved) and I was within maybe 15-20 coins of being complete with mine (mostly easy ones left) when I was forced to sell for some financial issues I had going on at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>After I sold, I didnt really buy any more coins for a few weeks as I was just too sad over selling my prize that I had been building. I had literally looked over every coin several times before I decided what to let go. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once the coins were gone and I didnt have the distraction right in front of me I started realizing that like you, I was just buying things to fill holes and didnt really collect the series or care much about the coin, I just needed to keep the trend going of bringing this set to a close. Once I realized that, I just started buying what truly appealed to me and stopped worrying about the &#039;sets&#039;. I am not a set guy anyway, at least not in the traditional sense. I cant go for a complete set of anything as I dont believe in spending hundreds or thousands for a coin that I can find in better condition for a lot less if all i consider is the design and dont get caught up on the mintmark and associated mintages. I find that I like uncirculated or lightly circulated coins and its just unrealistic right now for me to pay $1000+ for all the key date coins in UNC grades. So I collect nice type coins that appeal to me and I feel like I am now buying better coins than what i was and not wasting money on coins I could care less about.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are not alone my friend[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
