You can't compare the T206 set to any other set. Many people find a niche T206 piece and work on that. Some collect Hof portraits only, others a mix of portrait and action. Some Southern Leagues. Some only rare backs, or certain backs. Some only by team. Myself pretty much just Chief Bender and every possible back on all three of his cards. Technically it is impossible to finish the set even if you are a billionaire because some of the backs are impossible to get and new ones are being found almost monthly. It's not about completing the set, it's all about the journey and what you want to chase, and whatever that is when it comes to T206, you will most likely never finish but have quite a fun challenge on the way.
