Changed my style too many times

I started similarly with set collecting of post-war cards. I then moved to a type-collector, going from OJ's forward. I seemed to stall in the T-cards (I also loved the T205, T206, T210, T213, T215 cards). I then focused on the HoF players from these sets. After "running out of findable/affordable cards" (missing only T205 HoF variants, missing T206 Cobb green/bat on [of course skipping Plank and Wagner], very few T210 San Antonio around, T213 HoF getting pricey and T215 HoF non-existent), I moved back to type-collecting. No offense to those that love the 1920's cards, but these did not grab my attention AT ALL.

Now to T205, T206 back collecting and various other T HoF cards. I have just called this the "David Collecting Style" (kinda fits my short attention span).
