Default Looking for some pointers on selecting my next set.

After taking a 10 year hiatus from collector, do to limited funds while in college, but this year I turned 30 and I'm back. Another exciting part is my wife is a huge baseball fan and also collects (nothing pre-war though). Right now I trying to narrow down a few different sets to work on. One Tobacco or Caramel, a Post WWI, and a 1950's or 1960's set. This is where I need some help from the collectors out there. I don't want something I can finish by attending an average sized card show or something that would require my first born so I getting stuck. Below are a few ideas I have had ranked in order of how much I like them.

Tobacco/Caramel:
1. T206 Backs set
2. 1909 E92 Dockman & Sons set
3. T205 Gold Border set
4. E90-1 American Caramel set

Post WWI:
1. 1936 R312 Pastels set
2. 1934 Goudey set
3. 1939 R303A & R303B Goudey Premium

1950's and 1960's:
1. 1956 Topps
2. 1962 Topps
3. 1948 Leaf
4. 1953 Bowman Color

I look forward to any comments or help with making my final decisions. I plan to know my sets in time for the NSCC in Cleveland this coming July.

(Oh I also collect any cards I can find of the 1918 Yankees, the "Forgotten Murderers Row." Player's team must be listed as NY.)

Thanks, Shernan30
