New PC - Too Daunting a Task?

[g-force]

I guess the answer to the question depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to get every card ever made of Kovalchuk, it will be impossible at this stage. If you just want to build a nice PC with a wide variety of cards, you can do so fairly easily.

COMC is another way to get a lot of cards fast. Shipping can get a little crazy but you don't need to pay shipping for individual cards from different sellers. I'd just focus on getting "better" cards per say and try to pick up a nice lot or two of lower end stuff here and there in trades.

If you plan on going for 100%, good luck! You're going to need it...

I will definitly be visiting COMC, Sportslots and Center Ice. Thanks for all the encouragement, suggestions, and offers to help. You guys are amazing!

I know there is absolutely no way I will be able to gather all of the cards. I know that going in. I have already decided I will not be chasing slabbed cards, 1/1s (unless they present themselves), and most of the ITG products because they are numbered too low (too many #/9's and #/1's).

It's funny, one of the reasons I decided on Kovalchuk was that he always seems to show up in my packs, no matter what brand I buy. Today, I bought about 40 mixed packs of UD, ultra, OPC, MVP, etc... Guess what? Out of more than 250 cards I did not get one single Kovy card. I think I may have jinxed myself!!!!

Good luck! I can help you with a Kovy/Ovi card if interested.
