Thanks, Peter. I asked a clumsy question. You are getting at part of what I am wondering and considering. There are soooooo many E sets that I like, but there are only a few players that I feel like I have to have. In prewar, I want to make sure I have a few Cobbs in my collection, along with a Wagner or two. Beyond that, I look at Mathewson, Young, Lajoie, and Walter Johnson. In time, I would like to obtain at least a couple of cards of each of those players. It's just funny how it works out. I like some sets, but of the players I mentioned, I don't like all of their cards in all sets. For example, I like E95, and I like Mathewson, but I don't especially care for the E95 Mathewson.
I suppose that's what my Chase thread is about. As much as I would love to buy a card from the above list, to get quantity and to be able to play with backs found in various issues a little, I am not going to be able to do that with HOFers. Just wondering if others made similar decisions. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Last edited by vintagebaseballcardguy; 05-06-2019 at 08:31 PM.

HOF = yes
Yes I am a HOF collector.
I do sets as well, but I try to focus my sets on those that have high percentages of HOF cards. I won’t start sets like T206 partly for that reason. I started a Type Card Collection years ago, just getting any player. Then I started collecting a “playing years” HOF Collection. Those were exclusive until I sorta merged them to be getting a HOF in each type card that I can. So now my primary collection is HOFERS in as many unique sets as I can get them. Prewar primarily. Finding a HOFer in a non-mainstream set is my favorite! (See my SGC link below) You may find that what you start as your collecting focus may change frequently through the years. It’s a great hobby. Collect what ever makes you happy and don’t feel bound if that changes sometimes!
