When I got back into collecting about a year ago I tried starting several different sets (T205, 1934 Goudey, 1948 Leaf), but much like the OP I would lose interest as another set or subject would capture my interest and attention. Collecting the common cards of the common players just didn't interest me as I got involved in a set.
I have come to the conclusion that I am not a traditional set collector and I have since shifted my focus to simply a HOF collection. I loosely focus on trying to complete a HOF set for certain issues like E90-1 and T205 currently but my overall focus is simply HOFers. Gives me a lot of flexibility in my focus.
The only exception to my HOF focus is I am working on a T209 b&w set, but given the enormous challenge of the set, the rarity of the cards...it keeps it interesting and exciting for me.
