Posted By: <b>Jeff Mohler</b><p>I have been working on the 1921, 1922 and 23-24 sets for a couple of months. I am realizing that the 23-24 series is noticeably tougher than the first two series. Does anyone have any words of wisdom in collecting these? Are there any cards that are noticeably tougher than others?<br /><br />About my only good fortune relative to these cards was picking up a 1921 Grover Alexander from a seller on ebay who didn't know what she had. It graded an SGC 50, which is(was?) the highest graded so far.<br /><br />Jeff

Posted By: <b>jeffdrum</b><p>Yeah. The 1922 Ruth can be quite tough. Also I have been trying to find a '23-'24 Bottomley for awhile. In the '23-'24 the Bottomley and Al Simmons seem to bring a nice premium as some (including ME) consider these to be rookie cards. In 1922 the Moses Yellowhorse and the umpires can be a challenge. In 1921, I have not found any of the cards to be any tougher thn the others, although some say that there is a degree of toughness associated with collecting both the bordered and non-bordered variations. Adam Warshaw is your expert here.<br /><br />The '23-'24s are a lot tougher than either the 21a (easy) or 22s.
