Default Set building strategies

I'm new to the board her and I'm pretty new to vintage pre-war collecting but it has become the main focus of my collection now, until recently my focus had always been on the late 50's through the 60's. Collecting and completing sets for the 50's and 60's was pretty easy comparatively speaking and I think the inherent difficulty in trying to complete pre-war sets is part of the appeal to me.

I was just curious as to what some of your thoughts and theories are on trying to complete these difficult sets. I've set my sights on the 1934 Goudey and much tougher T205 set. I have very strict budget that I limit myself to. I could set out after the commons first then go after the higher profile cards, or save my budget for a couple months to pursue the higher profile cards first.

In the end maybe it doesn't matter much, just curios if anyone has theories on this.
