Some good ideas up there...

Unless you're a fan of the Pirates, Athletics, Tigers or Giants, you could try getting a team completed in T206 without spending a fortune.

Diamond Stars are a good idea if you omitted the high numbers.

And an American Caramel team set from the 1920s is possible without great expense.

Realistically, focusing on a team is easier than a 'set' when you're dealing with the old cards.

Maybe pick a favorite World Series Champion team from years ago, then try to get the starting lineup and the key bench players, even if you cross over sets... such as E90-1s, T205s and T206s for a team from 90 to 100 years ago. Or 33 and 34 Goudeys, plus Diamond Stars, to piece together a team from 70 to 80 years ago.
