I assume it's best to get a nice starter lot first? But as was mentioned if you were to pick up each individual card, you would getting good value compared to other sets.

If you do get a starter lot, I would take my time and pick the biggest one that you can afford (while being sure it mostly fits what you'll be satisfied with, since it's easy to lose a little patience and cut corners!)
Because if your starting lot is something like 30 or 50 cards, then you can't buy many other lots going forward (yet you still have most of the way to go). Even that many will still have you looking at future similar lots (or even smaller ones) and usually realizing that since you already have 5 or 10 of the cards, it's not really worth it.
Then you're already stuck getting singles or very small groups that occasionally fit the bill. I'm already in that spot; it doesn't take long.
