I collect sets from baseball, have sets going back to 1976 (yes I am over 30 but as Goose97 said I am not dead yet) I do like doing the sets of baseball because I grew up watching baseball and I know about teams other than my hometown team but my player collection is of a Hockey player, Ryan Miller, whom I just started collecting in 2010 when I started watching Hockey. I find that I enjoy both but I don't think I would enjoy set collecting in a sport other than Baseball since I don't know much about all of the players/teams. So my vote is both

Set collecting is getting more and more difficult and expensive.

Both for me. My Ranford collection is always my top priority..... but I'll also build UD SEries 1 & 2 this year..... plus trying to go back and finsih off some of the back issues I'm still working on (nearly done 02-03.... and have everything newer than that done).
Also do 'team' collecting. The scope of my Oilers collection is pretty specific (one RC, one Auto, one GU from every player, ever, on the Oilers) but I'm always hunting to cross another name off those lists.

Yea, I'm one of those older collectors that do sets and no I'm not dead yet!!! It probably has to do when I was younger and OPC was the only game in town and a collector reasonably put the entire set together. Even the early years of the card explosion when there was more card companies and sets someone could still put the sets together.
I agree with Drewk86a putting an entire set together now is almost cost prohibitive. There is more of a challenge than it was say 20 or so years ago with SP's and redemptions. It's unfortunate from a set collectors perspective that the focus on the hobby is more on the 'hits' rather than the base set and the inset sets.
Just my 2 cents..........
