My initial thoughts are to pick a team a month and try to get as many, if not all, the players of that team completed. I am focusing on centered cards in the VGEX to EXNM range.
Any other suggestions?

The best way is to collect by series. Start with series one and complete that then move on to series two, etc... or just pick a series based on the starter lots you get and finish that one first. That will lessen the number of stars and HOFers you'll feel compelled to get any any one time.
Series I: 1-100 (Williams, Banks, Spahn , Kaline, Robinson, Aaron, Clemente, Koufax)
Series II: 101-180 (Mathews, Berra, Rizzuto, Mays, Mantle, Snyder, Killebrew)
Series III: 181-260 (Feller, Yankees, Reese, Ford)
Series IV: 261-340 (Aparicio)
By chopping it down into smaller "sets" you'll feel more chances for accomplishment.
