Nice summary. Agree, this sums my view of sets as well.It's not that I have anything against collecting a set of pins, I just decided to focus on specific characters and I try to stick to just them.
There’s another good question - longest time it’s taken you to finish a set. I just recently got the last pin for the 2007 In the Parks mystery tin set. Never give up, never surrender!I work to complete sets or any Stitch or Cats. Its satisfying to find the last pin I need to complete the set. I trade to trade, but I always have a list of pins I'm trying to find. Some sets have taken up to 10 years to complete.
Same for me, if I can trade for them I'd like to but I can't usually buy.I can't afford to collect whole sets lol. The only ones I complete are the ones I like the entire theme for-- like Kingdom of Cute, Delicious Drinks, the Nesting Dolls, etc. I have individuals from ones like the Best Friends but no compulsion to get more.
Hidden Mickey sets are a different sort of jam for me. I love completing them, even if I turn around and decide to trade the entire set afterwards. There's a real thrill of the hunt there, minus all the money spent towards boxes/bags.I love mystery sets and Hidden Mickey sets . I don’t necessarily buy pins from monthly releases in order to complete the set. I want the specific pop up books for my collections, and I feel no need to buy them all. However, I love completing a mystery set. I collect mystery sets outside my collection because I like its aesthetic. I love the Main Street Mystery collections from 2016 and they are Mickey and pals. (#notmycollection).
Bottom line......you are not afflicted by The Completist curse!Anyone else don't like to collect all of a pin set or collection? There's something that bothers me to have more then one or two of a pin set in my collection. Like I bought a pack of Good vs Evil and I've traded nearly all of them away. Maybe it's because allot of pins in sets look similar.
Hmmmmm....I'm getting a flashback to the day I met you at Fairy Tails. LOL.I’m the opposite. I’m all about sets. I’ll sometimes avoid getting a pin because it’s part of a set and it will start me down the route of working on the rest of the set. I like the way the pins in a set look all together. I do collect one offs here and there, but definitely more of a set collector.
