What are you collecting?
Not sure if this sort of thread has made the rounds lately but figured it couldn't hurt to ask- do you collect by set? Team? Player? Backs? Error? Era? Other theme?
My primary focus is a type set of Highlanders/Yankees cards across the whole spectrum (T, E, D, M. etc) I'm trying to acquire at least one from every set I like. My secondary focus is minor league players from tough issues- especially stuff like a T211 example of a Southern League player who has a T206 card.
Because my field is so deep, I'm trying to go after the stuff I really love even if it means I have to go for some periods of time in between pick-ups. As easy as it would be to buy, say, a 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson or 1952 Bowman Casey Stengel in fits of desperation, I'm trying to preserve funds so I don't have to compromise quality on the stuff I love most, which is pretty much everything between 1909-1916.
