T3s are a beautiful set you might want to consider. Also T202s.

Two of my favorite early baseball sets are T204's and T222's. Maybe those?

If you ever run out of new baseball to collect you could always pick a project in another sport, work on upgrading what you have, or focus on companion pieces (boxes, wrappers, packs, advertisement, etc.).

These are my 2 favorite pre-war sets. I am, or have, seriously collected both.

The T210s with their beautiful red border and the T212s also have some extremely cool looking cards.

There is a definite gap in my collection as I literally have just 1 card from the Roaring 20's...and I have thought about going there, so thank you for the suggestion on which to go after.

Love the Red Man (need only a couple to finish the 52 set)...Red Heart and Wilson Franks (have the Campy) are also great sets and will consider both.

Upgrading is always an option, but not as fun as going after something new...

As for the T-3's, I always just assumed they were all very expensive...I will have to take a closer look at that set as well.

Keep the suggestions coming, especially which of the 20's sets to focus on, I appreciate all of the responses.

+1. Gorgeous set and still relatively affordable. If you want impossible challenge, try W600, 1908 Rose Co, or e107. Another option is to work on back runs of players from sets you have completed - terrible investment, but a good challenge and often fun

For me, as a type/image collector it is entirely possible to run out of cards to buy.

I have a list of 500 cards +/- that I would like for my PC, and could/would stop there. There is also a financial limit to some of the higher end cards that would preclude me from completing my list Wolverine Cobb, etc. but you never know.

And a card.

Because you have very good taste. Life is short, shoot for the stars. The problem with these impossible sets and back runs is that some needed examples are so rare that one often way overpays to acquire one/it. I learned that the hard way putting together my t206 Tinker, Evers, and Chance runs and my brown old mill and brown Lenox subsets. I will end up doing ok when it’s all said and done, but only because of the items I acquired 6+ years ago.
