What a wonderful post! It should be required reading, especially for anyone who says sports aren't important.
T206 is a wonderful set, and it's the introduction to prewar for many people. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I love the complexity, others don't and that's ok. But sample the other sets too. They all have some wonderful things about them. T205, T206s flashy sister is a good start. Don't ignore the homely one though - T207s are pretty cool in their own way. And T210, which I think is the real monster of the teens. 640 cards, all condition sensitive, two tough series, and only two big names, but real budget busters. (Plus the orange bordered series 3 cards for a touch of complexity.) Nearly all the prewar stuff is more impressive in hand than in pictures. Even the W cards, there's some of the worst paper and printing, but they were the thing for roughly a decade, maybe a bit more. Steve B
