Keith O'LearyOver the years, I've finally started completing the sets I started out after. When buying started to become a few purchases here and there, I had to make a decision whether to start another set, or take a different approach to buying vintage cards.
Last year I started my type collection. My goal was to get a nice high end example of every 19th and early 20th century baseball N, T, E, W, D, etc. card I could get my hands on. Aggressive yes, but it left me with a wide range of cards from which to choose.
I concentrate on SGC 80 or better cards, always have a long ebay watch list, always try stealing them which makes it more fun, don't care if its a common or Hall of Famer, allows me to upgrade when I can to a better card, or a Hall of Famer and I had a very moveable card then to sell.
Just a lot of fun to say the least. I've tried to limit myself to E121 or older, but I'd love to get my hands on a Goudey Sport Kings Cobb or similar, so who knows where it will lead, all I know is its a lot of fun.
Only have 15 so far (all the common ones - T206, E145, T207, M101, M116, T201, E254, T5, the game cards, etc.), but really expands my collection and exposes me to cards I normally wouldn't look at or see.
I highly recommend it,
