I think the problem with type collecting is that it's also pretty much without focus. So long as you get a certain type, the players don't matter which kind of makes it a random set anyway.

I find type collecting with a focus, such as only doing a team, to work much better in both giving you a feeling that you're actually getting somewhere instead of a growing pile of stuff that to anyone outside the hobby looks completely random.

Now grant it I also include players out of uniform who played for Cleveland as well to fill in holes (such as T206 ABs....one of them doesn't have a Cleveland player) but it definitely helps keep the focus without getting too overwhelming
