Please don't build the 1941 play ball set. Another person to compete with.

I will agree with the venerable "rats60" that this is a fantastic set. I have been building a fairly modest version of it with raw cards and PSA/SGC cards graded from 2 to 6. The card stock is fantastic and the colors and design of the set seem ahead of its time. I don't think it has been particularly easy to build. Even as most vintage peaked in February and has since been correcting, the competition for cards in this set remains quite strong and has shown no signs of a correction from what I can tell. The relatively low pop counts no doubt factor into that. Anyway there are art-deco qualities to this set that were ahead of their time. Some of the cards such as the Vince D are straight up Warholesque. With only 72 cards it is approachable and having the Joe D in your back pocket is obviously a massive advantage. I'm 63 cards in and I still don't have the Joltin' Joe and that sucker has not declined a penny even as a lot of stuff has come down since February. I prefer his '39 which is much cheaper -- but the market is what it is. I strongly endorse it. |

I've been enjoying building my 1934 Goudey set. 96 cards, with only a few unobtainable for under a couple hundred bucks (the Gehrigs and Greenberg). Loaded with HoFers too (albeit no Ruth or Hornsby), at least in the first 1/4th of the set. I started around 8 months ago, and am up to 93% complete.
