The Need to "Have Them All"

Good question, and I don't know. For me, it's the hunt that is the most fun. I doubt I'll be able to finish all the sets I want to do, but trying my best is my goal. Like I want to put together a set or RPM's, (Lincoln cents) I'll most likely never get them all, but trying is what counts for me. :kewl:

I never consider the inpossibility of completeness for any collection. I have well over 100 Whitman Classic Albums and most are full, not complete also pending on what is considered complete. For example my Liberty Head Nickel Albums have a slot for the 1913 and that is for sure empty. Several of the Liverty Head Dime Albums also missing the 94S. Then naturally there are those dumb slots in some for coins that are actually errors and shouldn't be considered as part of a collection. Example is the slots in the Lincoln Albums for the 55 Double Die, 22 Plain, 72 Double Die, 95 Double Die. Or the 42/41 and 42D/41 Mercury Dimes. Such things make an album appear incomplete and force people to acqure them regardless of them being a part of an actual collection. If I don't have them, I just go on as if they don't exist.
