I am basically a monogamous T206 collectors. Sure, sometimes I will read general pre-war card discussion because it broadens my perspective on T206. And, I have occasionally moved outside of T206, but it is always a brief sojourn. I keep getting pulled back, so to speak. Though, full disclaimer, I do have a few non-T206 autographed pre-war cards. I guess that means I have two different collecting interests -- T206 and signed pre-WWI cards.
I have often thought of why I am so faithfully devoted to just T206. To be honest I am not sure I can put it into words. Though I have noticed that one of the reasons I collect that way is because the Monster is so huge that any attempts to collect other cards are really only distracting from the ultimate goal -- which is completeness (however possible) of the set.
Still, I do love my signed T201s. I can't ever really imagine parting with them unless a trade for another signed T206 card I don't have was on the table.
