I decided to collect the 1951 Bowman Pirates team set, only to make three multi-card purchases and get it over with in less than two weeks(which I'm even including the shipping time to get to me).
I actually started it because I wanted something cheap to collect, which would be easy to finish, but I planned to buy 1-2 at a time so it was fun. It spiraled downhill quickly when I saw a bunch of them for sale 30% off on Ebay and my brother asked me what I wanted for Christmas while I was looking at them. He bought nine of them, then I went back to the sale for six more. Got the rest about a week later.
I at least had the right idea, I probably just needed something a little more expensive, or a bigger set
