There always seems to be more discussion with T206's than other main sets. We often say it's more of a demand driven hobby. I am very curious which of the main sets y'all decided to focus upon when getting serious with this hobby. T206's, Cracker Jacks, Goudey's, Playball's, '52 Topps, Other ? None in particular? Basically, is T206 the King of Demand?

The Big 3 (1952 Topps, T206, and 1933 Goudey) are so named because they are all large, beautiful artwork sets containing almost all of the HoFs of the day. They all have some mystique: Honus/Plank/Cobb/backs, 4 Babe Ruths/Lajoie, and Mantle/High numbers/2nd run of gray backs/etc. They are all plentiful, which makes it easier for many collectors to start and even complete sets. Plus they're three different generations of cards, so almost none of the players overlap.
