I collect mostly by the fronts, but with an eye for the mid range backs. I can't afford the realy tough ones.
I really like the fronts of T206, they not only represent the history of the game, but indirectly the history of the country as well. If you want to have some fun, line up a batch of cards from an old Judge to something from this year. Just pick one card from each decade. Then think about how the cards design represents that decade and our attitudes towards things at that time.
I've done this for a few of my friends that have asked about why I collect, and it's always been a real eye opener. Not enough to get them started, but enough that they understand
