What is your collecting focus today?

I guess i have 3 foci at this point:
(1)
collecting packs from what i have deemed the T206 era, which means stretching 1909-1911 to encompass 206 packs and others i just have to have.
i also buy a card to hang with the pack for illustrative purposes.
So far i have piedmont,sweet cap, american beauty,epdg,old mill, hassan,
mecca, helmar, high grade, recruit(2 diff. factories),pirate, egyptienne
straights.

(2) doing my brand of 'type' collecting by picking one card from each year
surrounding the 206 era and framing them together, alongside the packs display. so far i have 1906 and 1908-1915. I'm thinking 1900-1915 will be the goal.

(3)knowing that being through with the Monster means looking at the cards
several times a week, researching key elements which arise as i do the looking, and continuing to sit in disbelief upon realizing there's still so much to
investigate.

best,
