Best (financially achievable) Pre-War set to collect?

As well as a set, that will likely continue to accrue in value over time

Curious to your guys thoughts!

Thx!

Much depends upon your definition of "financially achievable."

For a '30s set, I think Diamond Stars is worth a look. If you like the designs (I do, but some don't), it is a really cool set with great players. Whenever I see sale prices on these, I often think they are undervalued.

I agree on the Diamond Stars

How about M116?

Rob - that's a wonderful suggestion - if he's got the patience, M116s certainly have room to grow value wise.

My vote is for the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 set. Only 36 cards, you get a Ruth for your troubles, and many of the cards feature a Hall of Famer. It's a set of cards that look awkward if you only have one or two; but put the set together and they look fantastic when browsing the old binder (raw, in nine-pocket sheets.....the way the great Civil War General Abner Doubleday meant it to be).

Lovely Day...

I agree with Paul (page 1). The T201 set is very easy to collect. It's easy on the pocket book and it's easy due to the lack of any scarce cards. There are 50 cards but you can find them everyday on ebay. This is a set where you can bide your time and wait for the right card at the right price.
