My thoughts
Hi Eric!
If you want a no-kidding set, I'd go with the T205s or T202s if you want to have a reasonable shot at completing them in ten years. T202s are pretty cheap, and with the stats/bios, they are under appreciated. T205s are not bad either, except for the Cobb. T202 has a bunch of Cobbs, unfortunately, but not for the same price. My solution to this quandry was to find a sub-set, like brand backs. As you may know from my OBC list, I collect Sovereign backs in T205 and T206. I chose that because you get a bunch of cards to chase, but not any of the crazy, expensive ones. In T205, I get most of the Cubs, but no Cobb. In T206, I don't need Wagner, Plank, etc. It was fun just trying to figure out which cards were available with what back in T205...T206 was well documented, but not T205. Even T202 has back nuances - two colors, two factories, for a total of three different backs...but who knows which backs are actually available with which fronts. I found this incredibly more rewarding then trying to get all those Mantles from the 50s. Not being a Yankee fan, I just couldn't spend the dough on them when I could get a 100 T205s for the same price. Take a look at what you really enjoy, then find something that matches your interest. If you find it's not a good fit, you have trade bait for the next endeavor! Take Care, Geno

Erik,
I've "finished" quite a few 30's sets, although for me finishing is relative. My 33 Goudey is complete except for 3 Ruths and both Gehrigs. The 38 Goudey set is complete except for both Di Maggios. If that is not acceptable I'd go with the 33 Tattoo Orbit set or Diamond Stars. Both can be finished in a reasonable amount of time. John

Oldjudge:
I need to get one of these for my type set. The Burkett; however, may make it impossible to complete. Thank you for the feedback.

Geno:
I am leaning toward one or more of the following: T200 - I already have four T201 - I have the Cobb / Crawford and would need to get a new Crawford for my HOF'er collection T205 - I have about 15 or so T206 - I have about 30, inlcuding about 20 HOF'ers - again I would need to find replacements in my HOF'er set. I think the N's are out on the sports side, although I am presently collecting the N2 and N31. I may also start the N20 and N21 as I have decent starters. I am also looking at E's and W's for possibilities as well. Erik Last edited by EGreenwood; 12-22-2012 at 10:25 PM.
