What's the "easiest" and best pre-war set to complete?

[vintagerookies51]

First set that came to mind was E95. Lots of hall of famers but only 25 cards (I think) so not too bad on the bank account

I've always been partial to the E93 set. 30 card set of which 17 or 18 are HOFers. Most of the big names of the era (Cobb, Wagner, Plank, Mathewson, etc) are included. In nice low grade you could put the set together fairly easily in the $4-5k range and the cards are readily available.

E95's fit most of the OP's original specifications, especially in availability, small size and attractiveness, just the extra high dollar cards in the set (Wagner, Cobb, Matty, Plank) might be budget busters.

The '40 Playball set is chug-a lug with HOF'ers. The only real expensive cards are Joe Di and Joe Jax., and the set is big enough to be a challenge to complete. Whatever you choose, have fun.

Sorry, forgot Teddy Ballgame as an expensive card in '40 Playball set.
