With the new year almost upon us, I decided to really narrow down what I will be collecting next year. Being a team collector and set builder is getting tougher each year especially team collecting. With all the sets, inserts, autos, and parallels I was driving myself crazy trying to keep up. It wasn't fun anymore. I was driving myself out of the hobby that I love. So starting Jan 1 I will be collecting only Bowman, Bowman Draft, Bowman Chrome, and Bowman Chrome Draft Phillies. This will include base, autos, inserts, and parallels numbered down to /25. I figured I get everything I want out of these sets because they include current players, rookies, and prospects. I did a Beckett search from 1948 to present and its a little over 3500 cards. Its going to kiill me to pass the Heritage by next year but I have to do it for my own sanity. Hopefully I can stay focused!
