That's essentially how I collected the set.
First, I've always been a HOF collector, so I started with all the hall of famers. Once I had all but the big-2 of them, I pretty much quit for a while.
After a few months to a year, I got bored, and decided to collect the NY Giants and Chicago Cubs. Then I started on the Brooklyn Superbas/Dodgers. After that, I went after the Highlanders/Yankees. Then I started on the tougher "rarities" I didn't already have. After that, I realized i might as well go for the set, so I went full bore. The one thing I did to make it a bit tougher, was to collect the Southern Leaguers with only Old Mill backs.
I still would like to get a Magie, and if I'm really lucky, a Plank, but I'm happy at 520 cards.
