I would also give props to T205 for the design, the gold borders, and for being one of the first card issues to have stats on the back.
Another prewar design that I find striking is the one found on N43. Related to the design on N28's and N29's, it's like taking one of those cards and placing it on a tastefully designed lithographic background.
The N43 Buck Ewing has always been a favorite card, and, although I don't own any, I've always liked the similar N36 set which featured American Indians...
