Posted By: David PosesOn a whim, I picked up a raw V61 (type 2) Joe Bush. It was cheap enough that if it turned out to be bogus I wouldn't be too pissed. Sent it to SGC and it came back a 40. Only recently I've started familiarizing myself with the Vs, Es and Ws from the 20s. I used to think that some like the E120s and V61s were hideous with the ornate stuff, and some others like the W501s and 503s were a bit boring, but now I find myself drawn to all of these sets. It seems like they don't show up for sale too often, so assembling a Yankee subset of any would be quite a mission. Anyone have any opinions on these E, V and W sets from the 20's? Which are tough? Which are easy? Which cost the most? Least? Do you have a favorite card or set among these gems? I'd love to see some pix. Here's my Bush <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"> <a href="http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/Current%20Sale/?action=view&current=V61BushSGC40.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj16/sesop/Current%20Sale/V61BushSGC40.jpg" border="0" alt="V61 Bush"></a>

Posted By: JerryDavid, I'm like you...I have been drawn to the teen/20's B&W cards also. Here's a favorite of mine <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ruckers/ecards/websize/cov2.jpg" width="389" height="640" alt="cov2.jpg"> You might want to also look at the ones from 1916 also, such as M101 types <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ruckers/m10145/websize/fbhartzell.jpg" width="640" height="521" alt="fbhartzell.jpg">

Posted By: Ken McMillanI love the e121 sets. collect yankees and giants from the set. Most of the cards are fairly inexpensive except the Ruths and assorted HOF's. Kmac

Posted By: Rhett YeakleyDavid, I have always loved the B/W actual photograph sets more than a colorful card that sometimes barely resembles the player it is attempting to depict. Of the B/W's my least favorite has always been the E120/V61/W573/etc. sets--I'm not exactly sure why but it probably has to do with the ornate border kinda getting on my nerves after a while. Excluding tough backs most of the sets you mentioned (excluding W503) are relatively cheap when you can actually find them for sale, obviously I'm not including the major HOFers when I say that. Generally, the toughest part about these sets is finding the particular card(s) you are looking for. -Rhett

Posted By: AnonymousI love the black and white cards. I'll try to post some later, but I have over probably 400 or so from the sets mentioned.

Posted By: Phil GarryAmong the small W-strip cards of the 1920's, my favorite is the W590 series. I think the player photos far outdistance all of the other W-issues of the 1920's.

Posted By: Robert DixonI don't really like the ornamental cards either, but I do like some of the issues from the 20's. The Yuengling's are probably my favorite. Mostly because they aren't too expensive and I like ice cream. <img src="http://dixonsbaseballcards.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/9/5/1595525/5559095_orig.jpg" alt="[linked image]">?236x189

Posted By: Jodi BirkholmEven as a non-card collector, I have been partial to these issues. The photography is a nice change from many of the other issues of the era and those that predate the ones in question. As an autograph collector, it gives me great pleasure to view such sets in their entirety and realize that I have nearly all the autographs of the players depicted. With the lesser-known guys, it's always fun to put a face to the name.

Posted By: David SmithI like the cards from the 1920's because of the real photographs that most of the sets used. Also, even though most of the cards in the sets are not that expensive to buy you do have trouble finding some of them, especially in large quantities. I mean, if you have the money, you can wait for a Mastro or REA Auction and buy partial sets of T206's and most Goudey or Diamond Star sets but I haven't really seen that with sets from the 1920's. Here are a some cards from my collection; E. H. Sheely from Curtis Ireland, Myer from Star Player Candy and Sisler from York Caramel Type 1. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1235718789.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1235718833.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1235718983.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: JohnnyHI can see how much fun it would be to collect everything in the 20's. I just picked up my first card. I don't really know to much about any of them but always liked what I have seen. David I really like your 'Bullet Joe' Bush. He is my friends grandmothers brother, or cousin. My friends cousin out in Spokane inherited a bunch of Joe's things, which include one of his playing gloves, a few baseballs (one which had a bunch of auto's on it), and a picture of Bullet and Babe Ruth standing together which the Babe personally signed something like 'To my good friend Joe, Babe Ruth'. It could be a one of a kind photo, not sure. I saw everything way back in 90' and didn't even know who Bullet was until then. I really didn't comprehend what I was looking at besides the photo of him and the Babe. I remember putting on the glove thinking how did they ever play with something like this? <img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/JOHNNYHARMONICA/002.jpg" alt="[linked image]">
