What are your faults?

@KingPokemon

Great thread.
My Pokemon fit into four categories.

1. Untouchable Collection
2. List in near future (Biggest group)
3. LIST ASAP (See Below)
4. Listed on eBay

Well, my biggest fault in regards to the hobby is my LIST ASAP pile. I’m the laziest person here when it comes to listing. There’s thousands of items with most of them PSA in those boxes and they just sit and sit and sit.
I need an assistant:(

I feel that. I have nowhere near that kind of inventory but i always put off listing stuff. My biggest fault (sometimes best feature) is not biting the bullet on certain items and screwing myself longer term

Lol Gary! Your such a pokemon pimp!

I thought I needed help cataloging and listing 10000+ cards this week in bulk lots. But I think Gary takes the cake.

I tend to buy a lot of copies of the same card. :[

[churlocker]

Every time I finish a significant goal or get really close, I trade all of the progress for a single valuable card. And then I never have the motivation to go and finish the set again because I feel like I’ve already done it.

So I’ve been thinking long and hard on this topic and finally came up with an answer for myself that I’m satisfied with. I think I mentioned it somewhere before, but I have a bad case of “gotta catch 'em all” syndrome. I like to collect stuff in sets, and it bothers me greatly when I have random straggler cards that don’t really fit anywhere or contribute to some bigger collecting goal. Once I get one of them, I gotta get all of them.

Case in point- a couple of months back, a friend of mine gave me his English copy of Ho-Oh LEGEND as a gift. The LEGEND cards weren’t on my radar at all prior to that, but once I had the Ho-Oh, it bothered me enough that I ended up going on eBay and buying the rest of the LEGEND cards within a month. That being said, the LEGEND cards ended up being some of my favorites in my collection, so I suppose it worked out.

Consequently, due to my dislike of random cards laying around, I also almost never buy sealed product. I’d view this as a fault cause with the way I buy singles, it almost feels like cheating to meet my goals with how easy it ends up being. In my eyes, the proper way to collect would be to rip open packs for what you need. Unfortunately, it just ends up being such an economically unsound choice that I can’t bring myself to do it the “legitimate” way. I am trying my luck with the Generations set though (which has been pretty good to me thus far), so we’ll see how that goes.

haha all i heard from that is you have sold something before you can again dont worry i will be waiting

[salmoncannon]

I hoard WAY too much. I’ve got a ‘you never know how much this will be worth one day’ mentality that I just can’t shake.
That, and I constantly have like 1000 mini collecting goals going at once. I’m sure one day I’ll complete the Skyridge reverse holo set, right??

Something haenous?

I don’t really care for psa 10s, sure I’ll buy it at the right price but I care far more about the front side of a card than the back and 8’s and 9’s are absolutely fine and a hell of a lot cheaper for me to get the things I personally want. Hell if a psa 7 is 50% less in $ than a psa 9 I’d even buy that as long as I had good pictures and could see that the cards appearance was still enjoyable

I have no interest in re-selling, I don’t go for completing sets, I just go for individual cards that I really love the art of regardless of set or value

The saddest thing in Pokemon to me is the lack of good haunter artwork on cards

[fourthstartcg]

Hmm, let’s see:

• An obsession with 10s. Sometimes I lose sight of how amazing it is to just have a card, I’m always worried about getting it in that perfect 10 that I can’t really be satisfied until I do. I enjoy 10s as they’re a finality (literally can’t get a better copy of the card) but sometimes I care more about the grade than I do about the card.

• I spend too much money. I suppose that’s self explanatory

• I need to be better organized. I have a TON of ungradable cards that I don’t really want to sell, and they’re basically just sleeved and stacked in one of my PSA card boxes. I’d love to be able to get nice sleeves for all of them and put them into a nice binder. Some of my complete sets would also benefit from nicer binders and sleeves.

My biggest fault is probably that I keep my hobby a secret from most of the people I know.
