Collecting sets
Collecting T206 helped me get comfortable with the idea of collecting a set that will never be complete, since I don't plan to ever buy a Wagner, Plank, or Doyle variation. The same is true of many sets. 2 or 3 rare cards can cost as much as the rest of the set! I'm comfortable with having a group of cards from a set, but I'm not obsessed with it being 100% complete. With that in mind, I start with cards I like that I can get for a reasonable price. Sometimes a group of 10-20 commons is a good way to start.
