Similar to Chris I am primarily a player collector - Roberto Clemente being my player. I have drawn a soft line at 1973 it being Clemente's last career contemporary card (albeit issued after his passing). I have made plenty of exceptions for cards issued later that are appealing to me, but don't as a rule chase them. Used a similar line for Pirates team sets with my kids albeit that goal line has changed:

Started as 1952-1973 Topps pirate team sets ('52, '55 & '73 are done)

Then added 1948-1955 Bowman ('52 is done)

Then added Venezuelan Topps 1959-1968 (Need 5 cards to have them all done)

Then added T206 (minus Wagner), 1933 Goudey (finished)

Then added T205, T207, 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack and 1948 Leaf

That should take us till they're not kids anymore!
