One of the bad things about the demise of the local card show is that it's tough for new people to hold cards in their hands and test whether it does anything for them. I recommend that you look for a low grade t206 for the Lajoie. You might someday add an Eddie Collins and a Larry Doyle. Maybe an Evers, too. I'd also start with rough but presentable samples of Frisch, Hornsby, and Gehringer from the 1933 Goudey set. There's also a Lazzeri in it. I don't think they're much more expensive than the Diamond Stars. More a matter of taste, I think.

Thanks all for the solid advice.
I've been all over the place with my vintage card search lately with my enthusiasm getting in the way of my 2nd baseman focus. I'm tracking a t206 Lajoie right now on ebay...I keep missing out on good examples of the T201, which is the one I assumed would be easiest to get. Eddie Collins is stunningly expensive in nearly all examples...So, I hardly search for him currently. Gehringer is absolutely in my price range, but I don't love his color Goudey cards. The black and whites from Exhibit and Natl Chicle/Goudey are cool, just haven't found the right ones yet. Also been looking for an on-ball auto of Gehringer. He has a really cool sig. It occurred to me that I might just focus on one PLAYER rather than one position, just because of how vast the card selection is...but that takes some of the fun out of searching. Anyhow, I keep finding new ways to spend my money, thats for sure. Thanks again for all the suggestions! Keep em coming! Christian

T206 Collins is typically a good bit cheaper than Lajoie at the same grade. Just picked up a nice PSA 2 Collins for $80ish. It's an interesting card- ghostlike portrait with the crimson background.

Gehringer........1941 Play Ball
You noted above you didn't care for Gehringer's Goudey cards. You may want to consider his 1941 Play Ball. Its colors are quite striking.........

I love the 39, 40 and 41 playball sets...they really look great, imho.
Same reason I'm really enjoying the 36 Natl Chicle. Love the action shots in particular.
