type
I follow the ACC and add a few favs along the way via the Standard Catalogue---both fine volumes already mentioned.
I have around 200 different types and have limited myself to one of each type except for when a most desirable hofer captures my attention or if the card matches a Conlon,Thompson,VanOeyen,Burke or Brace photo that I have or will soon have!
I collect from 1900-1939. Once it passes '39 they seem too recent for me and not as 'ancient' or 'pre-war' as I like.
At times, I have singlemindedness which makes me collect certain things for a bit, e.g. I worked on the R's in the last couple of years and remain 3 away.
Great fun---along with the T era packs, vintage photos, and some WG game pieces
all the best,
barry
