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

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

[arott23]

This sounds like an awesome idea. I have no suggestions at the moment, but would be interested in anything really.

I like avoiding the heartbreak of breaking off parts of a complete set, especially when it comes to pre-war stuff.

That said, if it were a 50's Topps set (I like the '54 idea) for some reason the complete set break doesn't bother me as much. I'm very interested either way.

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

[batkidiii]

Sounds like fun. Count me in!

[canjond]

T3 :-)

[DeafSports]

Why don't we have SGC to be part of this so they can add "Annual N54-Group Break Set" on the slab and that something I will keep it annually and knowing all of us are carrying a set together.

I like the idea of 100-200 cards set. Anywhere from 30s 40s would be perfect.

We should stay Pre-war era.

Cant wait!!

Best,
Danny

I don't see why it has to be just one set. Why not make it a bunch of cards from different sets. That way everyone has a chance of possibly getting one they want. OJ's all the way through 50's.

[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)..

[bobbyw8469]

A smaller set WILL NOT be good because you have more demand than supply. The 1948 Bowman set has less than 50 cards. A lot of members wanting to participate will be left out in the cold.

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

[obcbobd]

Leon

I'm in. I trust your judgement. This should be fun

Bob

[JasonD08]

Diamond Stars would be a great one or even 1934 Goudey. Alot of HOFers.

[Rich Klein]

I suggested to Leon when I saw an auction currently running about several post-war sets which would were available reaonably and he indicated to me that he would much rather run pre-war (which makes sense)

However, I think some of the sets I mentined, would be great for this and I hope he reconsiders
