Amazing.

How discouraging.
The only W502 that I've found since my last entry is a PSA "Authentic" HOFer that's currently on Ebay. As I have no interest in the "authentic" card, I have not seen a nice W502 in over a month.
This has got me thinking about how I'm going to handle this blog, and this quest, since it appears that this set is as scarce as it is unpopular.
I've considered resuming my T205 hunt, which is currently something like 20% done and could be a decent idea, considering that T205 pricing is pretty depressed right now. I've also considered adding a more modern set like 1951 or 1952 Bowman, and building a nice, raw, EX condition set. And I've considered beginning a collection of Yankees cards and memorabilia to serve as a companion to my "Yankee Run" of complete sets. Not sure which direction I'm going to head in, but I'll tell you - I have to head in SOME direction, because if I sit around and wait for W502s, it could be YEARS before I get another set complete!
I realize that building a set requires patience, don't get me wrong. But this requires a whole different KIND of patience - I began this blog on May 30, and have added precisely one card in that time. Today is July 25. Almost two solid months, and I've gone from three to four out of 60 cards. Drag.
