Now, the 1913 color set is one of the most beautiful sets ever produced, but half naked men changing clothes just doesn't do it for me. Especially disturbing is the Hughie Jennings, he just has WAY to big of a smile on his face as he is standing there with his hands on his hips.

I don't get the allure of the 1912 Boston Garters either. Many collectors really love the images on those cards, but they're just not for me.
Price notwithstanding, I prefer both the 1913 and 1914 sets. The 1913 colors and design are fantastic. Additionally, the player selection is much stronger with cards of both Cobb and Jackson. I even prefer the looks of the 1914 black and white set over that of the 1912 set.
