He breaks down the psychology behind the chase, including data from a University of Arizona study that shows motivation increases as collectors move closer to finishing a project.He explains how completeness brings structure to a chaotic hobby, why it raises the value of certain cards, and how it shapes long term decision making for every type of collector.
