Who knows, maybe you'll fall in love with E121, exhibits, goudey, T cards etc etc... Remember, there's basically 40 years of baseball in "pre war" so cards come in many eras, shapes, sizes, styles... And not one of them is the "right" answer for everyone.

But I'd recommend doing your "browsing"/test buying on HoFers, this way, once you figure out what you really like, you can recoup your investment on the cards you no longer feel fit your niche.

+1 and great advice. That's actually how it happened with me (except no focus on Hof'ers, just different types of pre-war cards).
