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

Just curious, from reading this thread. lolol. OK, I'll put my lack of knowledge on full display here.

Do most set collectors work on one set at a time? I think I've always just assumed that. Collect a set. Finish it. Collect a different set. It never occured to me until I read this thread that someone might collect more than one set at the same time.

Also, just from curiosity ... I focus on Detroit players only (or minor leaguers that spent at least recordable time in Detroit). I picked up a batch of T205's in the last Lipset auction so I could keep the Dtw players and sell the rest. The mix was both Nat'l and Amer leaguers, and as I looked at the cards I thought I may be shutting myself off from some beautiful cards by focusing just on Dtw guys.

Also, I had them all out on my counter and was kind of stunned by the color. You just don't get that with different types that have different shapes, some B/W, etc.

So ... I thought about working on a small, relatively easy set as a sideline. I think past threads have suggested E95's as reasonable in terms of price, size, etc.

Any other suggestions? (And, since I've rambled far past my original question - do most set collectors go one set at a time, or more than one?)
