Set collectors - which ones do you collect and how are you doing on them?

Thought this thread might be a good way for set collectors on the board to meet others with similar collecting tastes. One thing I really like about set collecting is that it gives me a concrete "goal" to work towards. Although I'm sure the same could be said about rookie card collecting, type card collecting, etc.... Cards that are uniform in appearance, as many issues are, also look really cool when scans are lined up next to eachother on a website!

I'll start with my own collecting interests - For the most part, I try to keep things varied a bit and have gone after sets across several genres (ie...T, M, E, etc....). Most of these sets, or "subsets" in some cases, are a "work in progress" and would be issues I'd hope to complete over the long-haul, not anytime soon.
