To the OP: You're from Kalamazoo, so maybe you're a bit of a Detroit fan? Even if you're not, the Diamond Star set is the answer to your question.

1. The values have actually depressed from a few years ago, except for maybe the Greenberg card.
2. There's 108 cards, or 96 if you decide not to do the high numbers - a manageable number, but not small enough to finish too quickly. (Took me about two years)
3. There are variations on many of the cards if you want to really go nuts.
4. Lots of Detroit Tigers from the '34-'35 teams that do not appear together in any other set. There's even a version of Al Simmons as a bengal.
5. They're readily available on eBay both raw and graded. I prefer to buy graded and then set them free!
6. The most expensive card in very good condition will be around $300. Try finding a t205 Cobb for $300, or a '34 Goudey Gehrig, or most of the Delongs. No way.
7. They're funky. A lot of them look like they could have come out of a 1930's Batman comic.
