<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2420505, member: 76863&quot;]There is probably a happy medium to be found between being overly picky for the long haul and settling on a piece especially when it just doesn&#039;t come around often.&nbsp; The harder something is to find the more willing I would be to settle.&nbsp; Most sets you could complete the average common dates in about 5 minutes online so there is really no reason to fill holes with those.&nbsp; The other thing I would do as well is make sure you always have enough saved to be able to purchase one of those hard to find pieces if they happen to pop up.&nbsp; Nothing is worse than missing something you have waited a long time for because you blew the budget already on things you could find any day of the year.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This sort of struggle is exactly what turned me off from set collecting especially if you want the set to match from start to finish.&nbsp; When you think about it it is really the cheaper common dates you end up settling on trying to match the keys.&nbsp; Obviously the keys will set the high range your grades can be due to cost unless you are fortunate enough have an unlimited budget.&nbsp; Whatever that max is for the key you are stuck trying to match everything else to that when you could easily afford higher grade common dates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
