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.

Bingo. And that's what this post is about: ways to not let The Monster defeat you.

And I'm considering the SLers with only Old Mill backs as well. We'll see when it's time to cross that bridge.
