Go with your gut, pick one you think you will never get tired of and you probably won't.
Good luck and enjoy it all!
PS - I feel your Brewer pain, I'm a White Sox fan. At least you guys have some good building blocks (Segura, Gomez etc.). We don't have much and a crap farm system to boot.

I really love the Johnson. Arguably the greatest pitcher to ever play the game, in the greatest set ever produced, and a card with tremendous eye appeal. I will definitely look at what's out there, and who knows, I could be surprised. But there's a very good chance that by the time the end of the year rolls around, that is in my collection.
I mentioned in another thread that right now, I'd have to say my three favorite cards ever made are the T206 Johnson portrait, the 1953 Bowman Color Stan Musial, and the 1958 Topps Roberto Clemente. My fear is once I own all three, you guys might never see me again, lol.
If you read a story about a guy clutching an SGC-slabbed T206 Johnson portrait, calling it "the precious", you'll know what happened to me.

Thankfully, I don't anticipate having any dealings with him.
