Do you collect only Lost autograph cards, or do you also have autograph cards from other non-sport sets?
As an autograph card collector, I've often wondered if it would be better to stick to one or two titles and try to complete, as opposed to buying a bit from everything?
Its nice to have a large and varied collection, but you have to admire a tightly focused one. It's hard to afford to have it both ways.

In all honesty, only a few months. I started putting it together in September. The majority of the recent Rittenhouse autographs are fairly cheap and easy to get on ebay and, thanks to the Razor / Inkworks releases there are a lot of those floating around as well. For about £150 / $250 I managed to get 80-ish of the cards, then I was just lucky with the other ones turning up on auction and ending at low-end prices.

Thanks! I collect all sorts of different movie / tv cards, but usually only the autograph cards. A couple of years ago I put together a list of sets that I'd like to own and have just been working my way through the list, coming as close as I can to completing one before moving on to the next. Over that time I've put together Star Trek Voyager, Lost, Smallville, Dexter, Stargate (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) sets.
I'm currently now working on a Heroes set, as well as finishing off the last 1 or 2 cards for 24, Alias, Babylon 5, TNG, DS9, Enterprise and CSI. For each of those sets I'm waiting for 1 or 2 high-price cards to show up on Ebay and that's when I'll start with the lower price cards on a new set.
