There is another alternative-don't collect. Get some books on the history of the game or particular players, ideally books with many photographic images. The books will provide plenty of interesting information and the photographs will in almost all cases provide better insights into what the players looked like and their surroundings than the cards ever would. This would keep your spending to a minimum and generate a nice reference library should you ever decide at a later date to reconsider and collect cards.
