the w514 set will take quite a bit more than 3K (w/124 cards total, 28 HOF's including Ruth, Cobb, W.Johnson, Mathewson, etc., 7 Black Sox including Jackson, Cicotte, and 4 variations including Maranville, Bancroft, and Jennings)

A more accessible strip set is w513's with only 26 cards (13 HOF's including Waners, and Hack Wilson), or w512's. Good luck!
