Default As things evolve....your current focus on collecting pre-war?

At the risk of sounding like the infamous Peter C... I love Catcher poses and Tobacco Cards with a beautiful sky (not kidding). I find many of the tobacco cards to be incredibly artistic with an orange-yellow sunset, puffy clouds or even a pink-colored sky.

Examples would be the T-206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) and Waddell (throwing), or any of the Goodwin Champions. Of course, the T3s have the best such images, but that would be an awfully pricey "subset".

I think the T3 Cobb and Fred Clarke are the 2 most visually stunning cards extant (Clarke is actually pictured with a mushroom bat!)
