I started working on a 1940 Play Ball set about 40+ years ago. I'm down to less than 10 cards (out of 240). I kept telling myself I'd get the Jackson and DiMaggio cards but never did. Now those are the two that are going to be a pain in the rear to find a decent deal on them. I'm going to complete the set because at this point, it just doesn't make sense not to. The set is nice because it has players from earlier eras (Matty, Wagner, Jackson and others) and the current era (at that time).
T201 is probably the easiest set for T-cards and if you would like to have a set that's over a hundred years old. I'll guess that E91 shouldn't be too bad.
One set that's over 50 years old that is easy is the 1969 Deckle Edge set.
Overall, I think set collecting for some of the vintage sets is not economically feasible for a lot of "collectors/hobbyist", these days.
