Detroiters from before about 1915. I have at least one from all of the mainstream sets except E94, so I pick up extras from some of the caramel sets occasionally.

Lately though I've been really watching for images of female players from before 1915 or so. It's taken me into postcards, photos, cabinet cards, etc and has been very fun. Definitely unfamiliar territory though as far as value and figuring out what to pay. But I like that each one is almost unique, and the thrill of discovery and finding one is the real hook. Only 7 or 8 pieces so far, but I really like all of them.

I also pick up various HOF'ers if they seem like a good deal, and will always watch for Ruth cards.

So focus? Right now I'd have to say the female players, at least for the past 6-8 months. Overall in my collecting career it's been the Detroiters.
