Greg EcklundThe Exhibit and 1933/34 Goudey suggestions are good ones.
I would also throw the Goudey Wide Pen (R314) and Fine Pen (R313) premiums out there. The cards are cheap - commons often go for under $10 in Vg/Ex condition, with only a couple cards at most in each over $100. Also, there are many cool poses in each set. The Fine Pen set has a card of Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Mickey Cochrane together, a pose of Wes and Rick Ferrell, and a great card of Pirates pitcher Jim Weaver with both Waner brothers on his shoulders.
You can have him check Mike Wheat's site for pictures of some of the cards...he has a picture of the Weaver/Waners card as well as a pose of Gabby Hartnett and Lon Warneke.
