Al C.risafulliABSOLUTELY.
I found myself jumping from set to set for years. Then I tried to focus on a type of set (years the Yankees won the WS), but then found myself bumming that I "couldn't" buy cards from issues I liked - anything pre-1923, for instance.
So ultimately I started collecting HOFers, with a goal of owning one card of every person in the HOF. No limitations - tribute cards, regionals, mainstream, whatever I like. To keep some uniformity, so it doesn't look like a "hodge podge of nothing", I have them all graded by SGC, so they all present very well, and look very cohesive when they're presented together. Believe it or not, you can put a Scrapps tobacco, an E98, a '77 Wiffle Disk and a '89 Topps together and have them look just great.
Then I'm working on some smaller sets, just to satisfy the set-builder in me.
Good luck!
