Net54baseball Pre-War Set Group Break - Set to be Decided?

[bobbyw8469]

My vote is for the 1955 Topps. Good set with some good rookies (Clemente, Koufax, Killebrew), as well as some good 2nd year cards of Kaline, Aaron, and Banks, and fading stars like Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams.

We'd be honored to host the break, it's a public place and full transparency and could even be exciting if you are there

I would like 55 or 54 but I think the big Rookies should be grade 5/6/7.

The $1600 54 set that Sterling had seemed pretty rough from what I read in the description. I am in the minority, but those are 2 of the 3 on my to do list. If I win the Clemente/Koufax/Banks/Aaron I am hoping to not have to upgrade.

Of course, when the drawing happens and I win low number commons, I can open this up and laugh at the idea of me fretting that the big dollar cards wouldn't be graded high enough...

Great idea. I would like the T206 set, but a subset will be much more manageable.

[clydepepper]

Great Idea!

After reading the previous post, it appears that either T206 or 1941 Play Ball are the most requested and I would be happy with either.

[Wite3]

'41 Play Ball would be nice...easier to find a set and a nice selection of cards.

Kashin might be fun but finding a complete set might be problematic.

I am all for T205s but it might hurt to watch a set be broken.

If we are talking post-war...might be fun to do 1954 or 1955 Topps or combine both 1953 Bowman sets together.

I agree w/ Rhett on the Kashin (R316) + Polo Grounds, National Game or Tom Barker Games. I'd also be in on any 1920's Exhibit sets (1921,1922,1923-24,1925,1926,1927,1928,1929 4-in-1)

[Luke]

I think game cards would be cool as well

[brianp-beme]

Some great suggestions for complete sets (I like 1941 Play Ball, Diamond Stars, Tom Barker or National Game and T201).

However Leon also mentioned partial sets in his original post. I think this idea would have the best kickoff (we all know Net54'ers are 'partial' to this issue) if a larger lot of T206 cards (perhaps 100-200) were chosen...maybe a group consisting of a variety of Hall of Famers, different backs, Southern Leaguers, etc.

I have actually been thinking of this for the last several hours......great suggestions by all, so far.

Yeah, I suppose there's no reason to get a complete set when we're just going to break it up. This seems like the best idea since T206s are about all we talk about here

Gotta love those t205s. I'm all in for that

[batkidiii]

Sounds like fun. Count me in!

[canjond]

T3 :-)

[Mountaineer]

Sorry I haven't been around much (been studying for my mcat), but I vote for either a certain group of t206's (so I can get my first one, lol) or 48 Bowman (due to the fact that it is a smaller set and has a good amount of HOF'er RC's in it)..

This a subset for t206 would be awesome

Would love t206s...but I wouldn't mind settling for 1941 Play Ball. Even if I don't collect them. That or some 1915 Cracker Jacks...idk how that would work considering there are some expensive cards. What about E cards?

[Sean1125]

As a side note, a t206 break could be arranged in the 40 to 50 price point, and t205s (if a set could be found) in the same, maybe cheaper

[ullmandds]

I love the idea of a shoebox...or a vintage set...exhibits would be cool.

[Jayworld]

Maybe too late to chime in, but would be interested in:

Prewar:
1940 Playball
T201
1939 Playball

Postwar:
1952 Bowman
1955 Topps Doubleheaders
