After 21 years - Time to refocus collection
Honestly, it's liberating... It's what made me enjoy my collections again.Well, I guess that this day would eventually come. After 21 years as a "Villains Completist" collector it is time to narrow down what I am interested in going forward. I am going to stay with my two favorite Villains, Scar and Hades. I am not going to go after all of the rest.
Why? Just too many mystery sets, blind mystery boxes and LE's that are just too expensive. Economics is playing a big part in my decision, but it certainly is not the only reason.
I am not changing my past Wants/Trades, just keeping to Scar and Hades going forward. The Curse of being a Completist collector has finally caught up with me lol!!

Ok I feel better about my 220 ish now.curiousdinah - According to PinPics dashboard 5521 Own, 1965 Want, 790 Trade. This is not totally accurate but in the ballpark.

I have two collections that I've stopped collecting. One was almost completist, too. All of a sudden there were too many coming out, some being extremely difficult to find, but worse, pins get released and those who have access to them decide they are worth $100 or more and there's no way to keep up with that. I've complained about that before but now it's ended two collections. I will probably get rid of those collections that I worked so hard for because now they aren't fun. They just make me sad. I used to wonder how anyone could form a collection and then just not want them anymore. Now I understand that.
Thank you, that's good advice! I have been thinking about this for a few years now, but I haven't done anything yet.Tiggeriffic, I urge you not to make any decisions about your collections until some time has passed. Even if you never add another pin to them, there might come a time when you get enjoyment from them again. It would be terrible to let them go and then regret it.
