Maybe slightly off-topic, but related -
Would you rather have a smaller collection of more valuable cards? Or a larger collection (whatever is "large" to you is open to interpretation...) of cards with a lower average value?
I lean towards postwar vintage because I like getting a mid grade HOF'er for the same price as it would cost me to get a beater T206 common or other prewar card. I like the idea of prewar, but the value proposition simply isn't there for me, or wasn't in 2014 or so when I got back into the hobby and set goals this go-round.
I have my limits. Here lately it seems I would rather have fifteen $100 cards than one $1500 card...but I have also sold things in the past to do the opposite.
