The 1911's always seemed to have more cards with vibrant color that the 1910/11 Obaks are known for. And the bio write-ups are great fun reading--they seem to have had a grade-school kid write them up as if he was stretching out a paper that had to be a certain amount of words.

1909s aren't so tough that they should be excluded in my opinion. I focus on the T212-1 issue so I never have noticed a difference between the 1910 and 1911 issues.

I prefer the 1910's. I think the ads are so cool.

I voted for the 1910's because I like the back slogans.....overall I am fairly neutral though...

I like the 1911 images much better. I find the 1910s a bit more muted in color. The 1910s seem to be more abundant (not counting 150 subjects).

My preference is to build the 1911 set, and the 1910 slogan type. I get the best of both worlds without duplicating so many players.
