I love the set, but I'm not going to work on collecting the whole thing. I'm like a man living in France, going to the market for dinner. With so many wonderful flavors to choose from, I'm not going to restrict myself to "one type of cuisine", so to speak. The great thing about baseball cards is you can collect however you like. You can work on one player (lots of Mickey Mantle collectors), one team (Milwaukee Braves? Yes, please!), a set, a period, a card manufacturer, or you can just "jump around" (a little reference to my Wisconsin Badgers ) I might pick up a T206 Walter Johnson Portrait, then grab a Goudey Babe Ruth. Next, I may go post war, and plunk down a handful of C Notes to add a '53 Bowman Color Stan Musial to my collection. Maybe I can't find one in the condition I like...so I'll come back to it, and add this beautiful '53 Bowman Color Roy Campanella instead. And I will continue to buy cards for players in the game now. Whatever tickles my fancy at the moment.

The collecting options are as vast as the colors of the rainbow, or the different kinds of music. And I plan on enjoying them all. If I like it, there's no reason why I can't get it. This is something I can work on the rest of my life.
