There are a lot of beautiful pre-war Cardinals for you to collect. In addition to the T206s, another manufacturer to consider would be the Goudey Gum cards of the 1930s. Some great Cardinal players from that era, including Rogers Hornsby, Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, and Frankie Frisch (pictured below).

Here are the two Cardinals I have in my relatively new pre-war collection thus far.
No promises, I really like the Cards dominating the Central. Not sure what your Brew Crew is doing letting Aoki go for a reliever.

As a St. Louisan I don't primarily focus on St. Louis players, but do end up with them quite often. I also enjoy that so many pre-war players have made their way through St. Louis in their careers with the AL or NL because the baseball history in St. Louis is so rich.

Is there much of a Pre War market at shows in STL? I'm down in Springfield; originally from STL, and make it up there every once in a while but haven't been to a show in years.

Most answers I would give to this are found in this thread:
Midwest Card Shows

I haven't been to shows in a couple of years not really finding stuff at the monthly shows that was new. Yet I went recently to the three day show in WestPort area since I work down the street, and I found some good deals. So I am thinking about trying the monthly show again and seeing what might be out there.

I didn't see they made a move, but I think the writing was on the wall. Braun is likely moving to right field to make room for Khris Davis in left. Gomez has center field locked down, and Caleb Gindl and Logan Schafer both offer more upside than Aoki at less money.

Still, I'll be sad to see Nori go.

Edit: Will Smith, a 6'5" lefty? He might be starter material. Doug Melvin has been pretty high on this kid. Insert your Fresh Prince jokes here...
