Also, when you come to a set that has plenty of options for you as a type collector (for example t206), how do you decide what card to pick? Do you look for a certain player or team? Just curious how the minds of different collectors work.

I picked type collecting because I like variety. As for what cards from each set to collect, I pick ones that I like the most and can afford. I have no real set rules except I have tried to get one from each ACC designation before 1950. I also collect back variations and some misprints, which keeps it fun too. The fun thing about type collecting is it can be whatever you want it to be and whatever makes you happy. No need to get an obscure common to complete a set as you can pick up something you enjoy more and not have to worry about being complete.
