Witchita - Not a thing wrong with your collecting habits. Definitely different, but whatever gets your wheels greased! I did something sort of similar about 2 years ago for my twin boys. I put together a complete HOF player and manager (227 cards) collection for $995. I actually acquired all raw HOFer's from 1950 to modern day with real cards, and then I gathered the remaining cards from 1949 back 1887 in all reprint cards. (Frisch,etc.) I also added a twist, as I wanted to get an example of every bowman and topps card from 1950 and up, so that made it a little more challenging and I was able to pull it off in less than a year, so I have a real 1950-1992 HOF player run, and a 1887-1949 HOF reprint run, and all for under $1K. (The real raw cards are in Ex condition range)
