Tl;dr: If you wanted to collect team sets of your favorite team in today's cards, what approach would you take? Which brands/sets would you prioritize?
--
I started to weed through the vast collection my father and I put together years ago. I decided to sell/trade everything that didn't have much meaning, which is essentially all non-Pirate cards. I have team sets for the Pirates in some state of completion from 1952-1993.
Id like to start collecting Pirates teams sets from 2023 and the past decade, where should I begin?
There are so many variations I don't understand. If I started with just one brand/one set/one variant, what should it be?
What should my approach be after collecting that set?
I've had people wanting to trade new cards for old cards but I have to turn them down because I still don't quite know what my goal should be. Help me out!
Thanks!
