"best" set from the 20's and 40's

[HRBAKER]

A '21 Ruth Exhibit for $50,000? Now that's a deal.

You can get a nice low end 1921 Ruth 1-3's for 1k or less and thats the most expensive card in the set, the Cobb runs about half that and less for the other HOfers with most under $100.

'49 Bowman--great set with Jackie Robinson, Satchell Paige, Duke Snider, Larry Doby, Richie Ashburn, "rookie" cards in it; or 1941 Playball (beautiful cards!)

For the 1920's-W551, F50, or R316.

Good luck!

That sounds do-able for me with the Ruth being a bit of a stretch.


I appreciate all of the responses everyone. I picked up my Lipsett Encyclopedia to read more about the E-cards and have been browsing oldcardboard.com and ebay to learn more about the sets.

The 20's are tough...just in this thread there are 15 different sets suggested!

I'll keep looking and reading............
