100 Card Type Set... I need you advice and expertise; please.
Mike Healer provided a link to the Old Cardboard website. I reviewed the list of types and decided to make my type set. I wanted cards that reminded me of what I think a baseball card is: They must be from the US, 3"x4" or smaller, rectangular, made of cardboard, depict real baseball players and pre-WW II. No blank backs, die-cuts, rounds, pins, etc.
After reviewing all 571 cards on the Old Cardboard website, my criteria revealed 98 cards. I added two that didn't meet my criteria to make an even 100: T201 and T202.
Here's where I need your advice... I plan to complete this set in VG/EX. Am I missing any obvious sets and do I have any "duplicate" sets on my list of 100?
I collect gold and collect PCGS/CAC exclusively. However, I've noticed a swing toward SGC for vintage cards. Please select either PSA or SGC in the poll so I can see which service the "experts" lean toward.
I don't want this to turn into a PSA vs. SGC thread (let the poll speak for itself). I hope you will respond with your advice on my selection of the 100 cards in my type set.
