What do you guys do during the "dry" times?

A far as collecting. Doesnt matter if its player collating ,set building whichever you choose.

What do you do when thee just isn't any available, even if you have the funds for it?

Im looking for pre-86 topps 3-Box Rack cases, and there are none to be found. Kind of bummed about it.

I've had a dry spell lately with my Michigan 1/1's in football. So I started a raw Ernie Banks vintage PC. I think I just can't quit spending money. This stuff is very decently priced though. I can't believe how cheap Banks stuff is.

First got into cards when I was 5 or 6 years old buying 1978/79 topps in racks from woolworth

I feel old

I try to just take a break all together from collecting/investing when that happens. It keeps me from getting bored with it.

I used to ride my bicycle to the store after school to buy baseball and football cards in 1972.

I am old

I start selling stuff and focusing on getting PC stuff graded/encased.

Been getting a little tougher to find some of my Denard Span needs so I've just been picking up some nice Twins stuff that I wouldn't normally go for.

Very true. The only dry spells for me are when I'm broke. Which is going to be real soon. :lol:

I bust wax because I'm a retard and a glutton for punishment

If we're talking about cards, the answer is I expand my collection to different avenues.

Currently, my player collection(s), my set(s) need list, and PC cards I've always wanted are simply not showing up. I have now started looking at cards I didn't before. I wish I could spend my time organizing/scanning my collection but I simply hate doing it.

I do look at "dry" times as an opportunity to really go after a card I want when it DOES pop up since I'm not spending as much as I normally would.

The "dry" times is one of the main reasons I started collecting Justin Morneau. However since I have actually focused my Kirby Puckett collection I am usually able to find something I dont have. This has allowed me to just pick and choose for my Morneau collection.
