I guess there are worse ways to manifest a mid-life crisis than organizing and indulging in my childhood obsession. Told my wife it's cheaper than a sports car / motorcycle.
Boy, has the industry changed a bit over the last ~25 years.
Right now I'm focusing on figuring out exactly what I have, and completing sets that might not be the sexiest out there, but are near & dear to my memories. And trying not to spend too much on new blasters.
Working on (among others):

2023 Heritage (86%) need 67 SP's
2022 Archives w/o variations (84%)
2022 Gallery (98%, lacking 3 cards) - #26 J Ryan, #50 H Park, #198 C McCormick)
