Coolest <$1 (or $2) cards

[Matthew80]

I got a '76 All-Star Rookie Dawson for $0.75 and '72 Ted Williams mgr card for $2, and that got me thinking about the coolest cards available for just a buck or two, say, up to the year 1992 when I quit collecting.

What are your best finds? Any suggestions for me?

Limiting myself to a shoestring budget to try to enjoy collecting versus the agony and stress of "investing" in pricier stuff, I think this will be my new focus for a while.
