Maybe while you're getting your feet wet, you could maybe buy some common cards that are fairly cheap from a number of different sets you're thinking about and that way you can see them in hand and how much you really like them. I wouldn't fully commit to one specific route of collecting until you get a better feel for what's out there. Read the board, look at other people's collections and get familiar with the vast variety of cards out there and see what really gets your interest. One set maybe worth mentioning would be the 1941 play ball, possibly the 1934-36 diamond stars as well. These 2 are relatively affordable and not that huge of sets, especially if you leave out the expensive High # cards in the diamond stars. These are 2 sets in between the eras you talk about. The Playballs have DiMaggio and Williams and both sets are loaded with HOFers at an affordable price. Good luck and take it slow at first!

Lots of great answers here so far. Most important is do what you want. You can even try mixing and matching from the answers.
I love Hall of Famers so I am trying to get a few but unlike in previous years (attempts) I am trying to spread the wealth around- going for as many different sets as I can. Almost a type collection within a Hall of Fame Collection...with the only rule- if they were on a card for the Cubs/Redskins/Devils I have to have a card in that uniform. Look at peoples signature lines and see their collections...sometimes things click and that is similar to what you want to do. There are no timelines or deadlines it is a life journey so if you want to try sets while Hall of Fame collecting ...Why Not!!!! Just my 2 cents....but happy hunting!
