Somewhat new here and seeking advice

[ChrisH]

Hi all. I'm Chris, I'm 32 from Kansas City area. I joined a while back, but got overwhelmed trying to find my way in the pre-WW2 card world. I'm deciding to take another stab at it and am now going to ask all you fine fellows for some advice. I don't know a whole lot about this era, as far as players or cards goes, but would like to start collecting cards from this era. My questions to you all are could you give some recommendations as far as sets go for someone who would be on a limited budget? I'd like to spend no more than $50 each for stars/HOF players cards. I've chatted with two members who suggested the T206 Kansas City set as KC is where I'm from and am exploring my options on that right now. All the different backs is overwhelming to me. How do you know when you have a complete set? Do you get all the backs or just a specific kind or what? Right now, I have 3 T206 (Players are Bridwell, Rucker, and Mitchell) and one T205 (Frederick Olmstead). They also suggested making a post here to get advisement from others. The set doesn't have to be a Tobacco set specifically. It can be from any year from the early 1900's to the 1940's. Just something that would be fun with nice eye appeal that isn't to expensive to put together where I can learn about the history of this game that we all love. I thank you all in advance for all of your help that you offer me.
