When I first started collecting T206s I just bought whatever I could get ahold of. It was fun, but I found myself with multiple copies of the same card and decided I needed to start a checklist and refine my searches and purchases.

I did the Indianapolis team set, since that's close to where I grew up in North-central Indiana. It has only five players, but I believe I have 42 total Indy cards. The distribution is not equal, however, as I have over 20 Jack Hayden cards and only three Paul Davidson cards. The degrees of condition vary greatly, but I pretty much buy them in any condition whenever I see them at card shows. No idea why (so much for refining my purchases...).

I then moved on to the Chicago White Sox team set (my favorite childhood team) and am now working on the Boston Nat'l set (my current team).

It provides an interesting challenge and a way to stay somewhat focused instead of just buying in the scattered, unorganized manner that I was doing it before.
