I started collecting minor league sets because of the beauty of the Obaks. Once that was completed I veered off in to other PCL sets like the early Zeenuts and Home Run Kisses. This lead to pursuing the PCL players in the D310 and D311s and the E99 and 100s. Before I knew it, I was collecting the T210 Old Mill red borders.
The funny thing is I never thought of myself as a minor league set collector, just a T and E collector. I was drawn to the sets I collected based on the visual beauty of the sets. You just can't beat the Obaks or the 1911 Zeenuts in my mind, although I am sure many disagree. Once you complete the mainstream sets like T205, 206, 207 and E90-1 through E97 and other sets like Domino Discs and Sweet Cap pins, you have different avenues to take and I went with minor league sets. Some guys have veered off in to post cards or other major league sets, it's all just a matter of taste I guess.
