I'm in a similar boat. Maybe not quite as hard up for new cards as you, but close.

Bill Ranford had some cool stuff in 2020-21 (when those cards were released varies). Included in The Cup, SP Game Used, SP Legends, and Ultimate. I picked up most of what I'm going to get from those sets.

He had a couple of clear cut cards that just came out. They look sharp. I do mean to pick them up eventually, but I just realized they're actually 2021-22 cards!

He had a couple of very SP'd cards in 22-23 (/6 Artifacts ticket, /15 SPGU Supreme). I don't think I've seen a copy of either.

This year? An Artifacts auto that I haven't picked up yet... and Bruins Centennial. I do have a base card from that, might yet get the parallels. I couldn't believe how much the couple of auto'd versions I saw sold for.

There really isn't a lot for me to chase.

I sold a couple of doubles of mine recently (good return for me.... Limited Logos I've had for more than 15 years) and it has me tempted to go through stuff, and start parting ways with some of the cards that just aren't that special to me. I will never have 100% (not even of the non-1/1s). There is little coming out for me to chase. I also don't see Bill Ranford's value going up significantly in the coming years. Some of the cards (like everything) have taken a bump in value since COVID (probably not as much of a bump as there was a year or two ago though). Maybe time to start moving out some of them..... but I've also told myself that a few times in the last 7 or 8 years, and never do it (other than doubles).

My Ranford collection has taken a backseat to my All Time Oilers collection over the last number of years - but not like I'm constantly adding to it either. I'm constantly looking, but I'm not missing much, so the want list is pretty small.
