Favorite cards you own from the 1920's
Would love to see a couple of everyone's favorite type cards you own from the 1920's....which seems to get lost among the card decades by many collectors...
Here's a few of my favorites in my collection....condition not important as shown... :) <a href="https://ibb.co/j87sPNY"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/zmKDTMg/fullsizeoutput-248.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-248" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/kgZBfQV"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/pvqw8J6/fullsizeoutput-24a.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-24a" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/60wBScp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/whgsqZb/fullsizeoutput-243.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-243" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/VVx20Dt"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/2qSg0Py/fullsizeoutput-244.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-244" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/kXTY8tC"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/4pLBTHr/fullsizeoutput-88.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-88" border="0"></a><a href="https://ibb.co/QXgq5QX"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/R7FM5b7/fullsizeoutput-220.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-220" border="0"></a> |
I agree the 20's are generally overlooked which I think is due to most sets of the decade being B&W when sets from the 1910 & 1930 were primarily in color. Personally, I'm not a big fan of most B&W sets, however, I do like a few of the exhibits (but no longer have any) and for some reason, the e253 set.

Posted this just a few weeks back in Leon's "Show a Scarce Pre-WWII Type Card" thread, but here it is again anyway:
https://live.staticflickr.com/4652/3...bd7f777f_o.jpg Yeah, looks a lot like an E-120 or a W-573 or probably a few other things, but it's from Base Ball ~ The Modern Card Game by Schulz Amusement Card Co. Same player (top of rgpete's vertical display at the right of post #4) on every card back, different results on the card faces. Still looking for more from this very tough set... |

The 1920's is certainly an overlooked decade for PreWW2 card collectors, but plenty of great card sets from this decade are out there, as you can see in Brian VH's post (he always showcases great 1920's cards). A couple of my favorite from the decade are the W503 and E220 National Caramel sets...great images in both, even if they didn't know how to spell Jim's last name.
Brian (hint for poster of post#13...M101-4/5 cards, while extremely cool, don't qualify as 1920's cards) |

Nice Ruth's Jim.
For me 1915-1930 is probably my favorite period to collect. So many great Ruth cards in the 20's including his earliest Yankees cards. Love black and white cards. |

A few examples of other cards from less common 1920's sets that I have always enjoyed: W575-2 Autograph on Shoulder, E126 American Caramel, and always love me some 1920's Zeenut cards, here featuring some goofy looking poses from 1920 to 1923.

Seeing all these cards from the 1920's just helps to reemphasize how badly someone needed to issue a set with some color. The most readily available cards with color were the strip cards, and most of those were of poor quality. Here are some examples of both type. I will add that I still love the Exhibit cards.
