Yes and No
Hardly a helpful short answer, I realize. I toyed with that idea but found it completely impossible to randomly choose a number and limit myself to that number of cards. Instead, I assess things more or less card by card and set by set. On some cards, I determine that I really don't care much for them, so I perhaps keep one example and get rid of the rest. I kept only 1 N28, the John L. Sullivan, which I really like, and got rid of the rest of my N28/N29/N43s. Some cards I find I like so much that I go after the whole set. I feel that way about Exhibit Salutations and 1971 Topps. Others are in between: I like a few cards or want a few cards but have zero interest in amassing a set. I have no interest in The Monster or in any of the Zeenuts sets, for example, but I have actively collected the HOFers and popular players for years.
