Pick a team...
If you like the white border tobacco cards, and you like slabs, then collect that. If the entire set is too many, then focus on a team. Obvious one's to avoid would be Pittsburg, the Athletics, that way you avoid the frustration of having a Wagner hole or a Plank hole. Both the Giants and Cubs are fun, but there are a LOT of those cards. Detroit has those expensive Cobb cards, Cleveland has Young and Lajoie. The Boston Nat'l's are manageable. The Sports Collector's Bible lists the cards by team, the old way they were collected. If you collect just one team you can sort them by series and see the uniform progression.
