Since I started seriously collecting solely vintage in the early nineties...I have been a type collector. My initial goal was an ACC run of E, T cards...which eventually evolved into D,R,W and 19th c cards as well. From a basic run of e90-1-e107...you can evolve into collecting the diff backs of e92(nadja, dockman, crofts candy(diff colors) and cocoa, ...the diff color backs of e94/e98...the e97/e97 bw.
I have recently sold off some of my toughest backed t206's...thereby disrupting that aspect of my type collecting. Additionally at times it has been frustrating that some types(t214/t215 pirate(if u can find one)/e107) can cost in the thousands for common cards...and this has turned me off and away a bit from type collecting.
These days I'm going after a set or two...and have a few type related goals I'm still trying to complete...but some of these cards just never come up!!!!
