petecldBen,
I am a set collector and completing a set is a great feeling but like Tbob said patience is a MUST. It's taken me years to complete some sets.
If budget is an issue I'd stay with the type collecting. To complete any set you'll run into the Cobbs, Wagners, Ruths, Gehrigs, Mattys, etc. in just about any pre-war set so no set will be completed cheaply.
For a beginning set collector, I suggest E95.
