    What should I do???

    Well, as many of you know I collect Joe Thornton. Well I have been thinking over the past month that this player is way to expensive for me to collect and that maybe I should drop my PC of him down to rarer cards only. I was thinking of collecting instead of him, the sharks as a team but only jerseys autos and patches.....I dont know what to do right now and it would help if you guys could try to justify what I should do and why

    thanks to everyone that helps

    Collecting as a team is a lot easier, less stress for collecting and looking for a certain car/player. I collect two teams, and it is easy to get what I want or what I find to look cool.

    I know how you feel. I collect Messier and Lundqvist and they are both very expensive.. But they are my two favorite player it wouldn't feel right to me to not collect them, lol.

    I say keep collecting him. Yes you will have to let some cards go because they are outside of your means, but in the end if he is your favorite player then there is lots of stuff for good ol' Joe that is not really expensive.

    Just my opinion

    If you can live with the fact that you can't ever get all the rare cards of his that exist, you should definitely not stop. Especially if he's your favorite player.

    If he's your favourite player, keep on trucking. It's easy to get a little discouraged when you collect a high-end player and see all the great stuff out there and know that you'll never be able to afford it--believe me, I'm there, but focus on making your collection the best you can with what you've got available. You may not be able to grab a Cup Autographed Shield every year, but if you can get a good assortment of each year's autos, GUs, patches, etc., then that's something you can take to heart.

    Keep going for it if he's your favorite. Just have fun with the collecting and don't worry about getting all the really rare stuff. That's what I do
