Personally, I think a lot of sets from the 1920's are for true collectors. Here is what I mean by that.
If you have the money, putting together a T205, T206, Cracker Jack, Goudey or Diamond Stars set can be done fairly quickly and your set/s can be in fairly nice condition. That can not be said for some of the sets from the 1920's.
With only a few cards known for some of the Curtis Ireland and Star Player Candy players, even if you have a lot of money it would still take years to complete a set. Unless, of course, you beat the bushes and flushed out cards that old time or off line collectors have in their possession.
That is why I LOVE to hear people say that sets from the 1920's are uninteresting or are from "no man's land". Because when I get the money, I can start collecting those issues again and not have as much competition for them.
