What they said.

A basic set of T205 without the expensive varieties wouldn't be too bad, and there are a lot of sets that aren't as popular or well known.

Goudeys should be doable if you ignore Lajoie in the 33 set.

The 35 and 36 Goudeys are interesting, and smaller sets. Although If you're into HOF players there's not much in 36.

Delongs are a small set that's pretty cool. Not common, but not all that tough either.

Picking up a basic type set could be a good start, you'll get an idea of what they look like in hand, and that will help pick a set you really like. It will also give you a good feel for what they're like so reprints will seem a bit more obvious.

Whatever you choose figure on building a set taking more than a year. Maybe the smaller sets with a solid budget, but the bigger sets will take longer.
