Suggestions Wanted on non T206 issues

Ryan,

E90-1 is one heck of a GREAT set. HOWEVER, it is tough as heck also. Even throwing out Jackson, you still have the big HOFs; only one Cobb and Mathewson, but two Wangers and Youngs. Joss, Keeler, and Walsh are also harder than expected.

Then you get into the "short prints" (which are cool and fascinating), but can get ridiculously hard: Karger, Duffy, Sweeney (Bost.), Graham, Stahl. And don't forget the Mitchell (Cin.), one time misnomer "The Wagner of Caramel's."

It certainly would be a challenge I certainly would love to have mine back

We should add Speaker (and others) to the ridiculously hard list.

E94s are always a good set, tougher than T206 but obtainable. There are typically a handful available, but the supply is limited compared to other caramel issues. I've researched the set some, but haven't personally started the set. Various color backgrounds and overprints can make the journey a lot of fun.

I agree with the T205 recommendations.
There are enough of both commons and HOFs to keep the collection interesting, plus a few SUPER-RARE variations. You can then always go back and work on back runs.
The T205's also fit your desired "set on the upswing but not peaked" as the T205's are gaining momentum and prices are moving up (at least for the HOFers).

How about E93 - lots of HOFers and not impossible. If you are looking for a slightly newer set, E120 might fit your bill.

I'm a t205 guy of course, but let me also throw out m116s as a possibility, one I'm looking at more closely myself.
