1900-2011 Year Collection

Another way to save money would be to skip on the RCs and go with the second year cards that have the Topps rookie trophy on them. I do that quite often. But then again, I've never been a huge multi-rookie fan. I've always thought that a Topps Rooke Trophy Master Set would be a fun project.

Another "trick" to save money if you're on a budget is to go with All-Star or Highlight cards of key players. You can pay a fraction of the cost of the base cards many times for the All-Star version in the same set.

Maybe also think about a Topps Venezualan card for the mid to late 60s. I like 67 the best because the backs are unique.

But you're definitely on the right track. Pick cards you want to own. The great thing about a type set is that you can define it however you want.
