You could Do a type card set. That way you get a smattering of everything and don't have to chase common cards for a lot of money. But if you want to do sets there are a lot of them you can do. What is your approximate budget, that will help narrow it down?

You might look at a strip card set. I collect the 1923 W572 cards and there are 121 in the set. I am up to 93 cards. They are black and white cards from the 20's and are about the size of tobacco cards. Definitely less expensive than t206 or other t cards. I happen to also have 22 different cards available to get you going if you are interested. Also need to mention that cards originally came in strips of 10 cards from candy stores and they would cut the cards from the strip. Sometimes the kids would leave borders, sometimes they wouldn't. The Seth's pictures parallell the pictures in the E 120 set from 1922. Email me if ou want more info
