Poor condition sets
A good question, Donny. There are some sets that are so scarce that poor condition would be a plus simply because cards in the set are difficult to find. In this category I would include T211, T209-1&2, T212-150 Subjects (a VERY short list of sets I collect), and difficult postcard sets like Topping, Ullman, Rotograph, Hull, Grignon, also sets I collect.
In the more common arena I would probably choose T205 since there are enough cards for some good values. BTW, I only have a few 205s, and have resisted starting the set, but this post may change my mind! I also agree with the Cracker Jack suggestion, but even in poor condition they're fairly expensive, certainly more than the $15-$20 category.
Cheers,
Mike
