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

[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

To make it a pre-war set and yet one where the value is spread out nicely can be tough... but I would suggest one of the Games. 1936 S&S, 1913 Tom Barker, 1913 National Game, 1914 Polo Grounds - they are completely loaded with Hall of Famers so instead of 1-2 people getting one big card, many people would get a nice HOF card. Would also keep the cost per person down. You'd still have a few higher end hits like a National Game Joe Jackson.

Thanks Mark......certainly something to keep in mind. I am high bidder on one lot right now so we will see. It's not too easy as once I bid on one lot I have to be careful not to buy another one if I am bidding for the same purpose......I am still hot on the trail though. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Just catching up on this...i love the idea of a 'mixed bag'. Like one guy said, it gets ALL of us interested in this. Not knowing what you can get will be interesting indeed. I am more post-war, but i wouldnt mind getting a piece of pre-war.

I can't say what but my high bid right now is a tiny bit post war.......I am really just looking for a real good value where there are some HOF'ers and some quantity so everyone can play. I am not just buying the first thing out there.....
