All I can do now is back the Sherlock Campaign like I wish I had backed the fed 52 parts 1 and 2. (When the part 2 was running I was still really new to collecting cards ... so I got one of each deck ... I hadn't quite figured out the buy 2, 1 to keep 1 to open thing -.- hahaha, also, not loaded enough at the moment to just throw lots of money around everywhere XD, then again, who is? haha).
From someone else who is a collector on a budget and relatively new Jonathan, I've come to a few realizations.
1. You can't have everything
2. Patience is a virtue, those decks that you think will be hard to get or cost a fortune will present themselves here and there with the right opportunity. I also missed out on the Fed 52's, but I'm happy to report that I was able to secure them with a little give and take and lots of communication......and ended up with a new friend
3. Really research decks, I
HAD a long list, but its getting smaller because I'm starting to not go "OH and AH" over just a back design, don't get me wrong, if it's something that appeals to me
AND the price is in line for what it is, I"m in (Example: Massa decks, Love the cards, you can get them really inexpensively)
Also, as one of those who started with the "2 of everything"...it changes as you understand what it is your paying for and you figure out "HOW" your collecting. Most importantly have fun with it otherwise there's really no point.
I don't know everything, but If you ever need anything just ask
