Picking up on what others have said, I would like to turn this around.

1) Pick a few countries you might like to, well, complete.

2) Make a want list of all of the more difficult to find (financially & otherwise) stamps from those countries.

3) Watch the auctions, inquire with dealers, review P2P swap lists, etc.

4) Once you have all of the difficult items for any one country, go round-up the easy stuff.

That way, you will not clutter your shelves or your budget with incomplete countries. Ever. And you will be a little less likely to lose patience, and pay too much. And if you never complete that country, you won't have to stare at a pile of stuff that was always worth very little, but still gobbled-up your time.

Yo, Tim: I was in Cairo 3x in the 90s; is it still a mess?

Cheers,

Hey ikeyPikey

The country is still a big mess and getting worse by the day. The people are great though - warm, generous, welcoming, perpetually optimistic, occasionally utterly infuriating and sheer madness when they get behind the wheel of a car... :-)
