Ricky YGil hit the nail on the head..you definitely have to set some limits/criteria or you will go crazy with all the different issues.
I got hooked on it after I joined Net 54 and looked at some of everyone's collections including Leon's.
My focus is to get a representative type card from each era...(19th century, 20's, 50's etc) with primary emphasis on the major issues...(Old Judge, T206, Cracker Jack, Playball etc). I'm not obessed with getting the harder to find ones like the E100...and do pick up easier to find regionals too if I find them appealing.
What I enjoy about type collecting is I never get bored because the cards look different.
