what set would u collect?

[esd10]

what set would you collect out side of baseball? I have started collecting the 1912 C57 hockey cards its a really nice set black and white player pics.

Probably 1955 Topps All-American Football. Has all the greats from the early days plus I like the college aspect.

I was thinking about starting up a 1933 Goudey Sport Kings set one day. Love the aesthetics and the set features the greatest stars in many sports of that era.

Possibly one of the early boxing sets as well such as T220 or T225.

I'm a pretty big fan of 48 Bowman Basketball. Not many cards, not too expensive, first set dedicated entirely to basketball.

If money were no issue, I'd attempt the Monster. Money is an issue so I am going to attempt the Diamond Stars. More attainable and one of my fave sets! :rolleyes:

Always wanted a 1933 Goudey Sport Kings set

National Chicle football sure is pretty...

[terjung]

outside of baseball?

I'd probably pick the 1894 N302 Mayo Cut Plug football set.

[53Browns]

I mis-read the thread. "Outside of baseball", I'd go with Sport Kings.

A couple that I have collected would be the T-218 boxers and athletes and the National Chicle Skybirds set. A set that I haven't collected but would be cool to have would be the National Chicle Football cards.

Leon,

"Back in the day" (read: before kids) I used to be a part time dealer in both sports and classic movie memorabilia. Movie cards were of particular interest to me. The Mars Confection set is interesting. Nice selection of stars like Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Edward G Robinson, Spencer Tracy, Bing Crosby, Joan Crawford...I always liked the set because it wasn't the usual glamour type photos but rather was more like home life type of shots. I think Spencer Tracy was painting something, Robert Montgomery was playing tennis, somebody else was at a picnic, Joan Crawford was playing ping pong.... Not terribly hard to find, just a neat little set with quirky photos quite unlike any other movie star set I have seen.

The N99 Civil War Battle Scenes is an awesome set.

I have fond memories of the Wacky Packages series from the mid-1970s. Those would be my choice.

Other than a pure baseball, the set I like the most is the Goodwin Champions set. The lithography is absolutely amazing, to the point where some cards almost appear three dimensional.
