started with the monster
I agree with the previous post about the Monster being the door to vintage- I started with T206, picked up about 75, fell in love with other stuff as I was more exposed to it, and now I have all the Yankees in T206 and am done. It became harder and harder to justify spending money on cards I wasn't crazy about (so much of the set is gorgeous, but one day instead of buying the Dutch Jordan I set out to buy, I picked up an E101 Kleinow and found myself all over the place for about 2 years. Now, finally, I have toned it down and am exclusively collecting any pre-war Yankee. Leaves a lot of wiggle room to buy what I want when I want it. I liked the idea of exclusively collecting The Monster, but after a while I started not liking the idea of self-imposed limits.
