Default Rare Sets Under $500 a Card

I'm looking to add a few rarer issue type cards this year. While doing my research on the various sets I figured it could be a good topic to start. So, here's the question to everyone.

What are some rarer issue sets everyone likes?

I'll start with the T215 Red Cross.

1914 and 1918 Zeenuts are both extraordinary.

Default Red Cross

Are Type 1 Red Cross' more challenging to find that Type 2 Red Cross?

Here's one I own with a wacky mishap on the name/city line. Toledo missed the mark by a bunch... Too much space and dropped a line... They wanted to put Philly in there, but just dropped Toledo very sloppily.

I think type I used to be considered tougher than type II Red Cross...but I'm not sp sure...they're both quite tough!!!

I think type I may be more desirable as the type is more t206 like!!!

Personally I have seen quite a few more type 2 Red Crosses than type 1's.
As a type card collector I can safely say there are a ton of rare sets where a type card can be had for $500 or less. You can get a nice type card from D303 for $500 or less, though maybe not Chase or a Hall of Famer...

T213 Coupon Type-2 is inexpensive, but the Type-1s and Type-3s are more expensive.

Per the combined PSA & SGC population reports, for whatever they are worth, the T215 Type 1s and Type 2s are roughly equal in scarcity.

+1...there are a ton of rare type cards that can be had for @$500 these days...many of which were unobtainable at these prices 5-8 yrs ago...like almost any bread card...e99/100.
