If you replace Cobb (an outfielder) with Eddie Collins I think u're lookin good!
You mentioned five sets and five players. To start, maybe pick up one player from each set?
It'll give you five vintage cards (each from a different set and of different players) to look at and consider how you want to proceed from there.
There are a million ways to collect, and there is no wrong way, so welcome and good luck!

edited to add: what I suggested may not be possible, as only Gehringer appears to be available of those you mentioned in the last two sets:
1911 T201 Meccas (#2 Collins/Baker, #28 Lajoie/Falkenberg)
1921 Exhibits (#8 Eddie Collins, #28 Hornsby)
1934-36 Diamond Stars (#17 Frisch, #77 Gehringer)
1939 Goudey (#16 Gehringer)
1941 Play Ball (#19 Gehring)
So if you get Lajoie Mecca, Collins or Hornsby Exhibit, Frisch Diamond Star, Gehringer from either Goudey or Playball, then you can get your 5th card (Collins or Hornsby) from a different 5th set.
