I would suggest rather than working on a set like T206 you build a type set of pre-war issues comprised of either HOFers or just cards you find attractive. The T206 Merkle throwing is a great looking card in my opinion and only a fraction of a HOFer. Plus he was part of one of the most famous plays in baseball history. A Diamond Stars Lopez in decent shape will cost less than $100 and is a very cool looking pasteboard. There are so many pre-war sets out there that you will never get bored and usually there will be a HOFer or someone interesting you can afford.
