As someone who worked on "attainable" prewar sets.

I think the least daunting is the T201 set. Having 50 cards, plentiful, and pretty cost effective. Of course, the images are not of the players likeness which is a little off putting.

The most fun I had was with the 1933 Goudey. Great set with plenty of HOF'ers. Commons can be had relatively cheap, and even the big cards such as the Ruth's and Gehrig's show up as graded examples on ebay and through dealers. (To avoid the big auction houses like you hoped)
