Your Top 5 of most Aesthetically pleasing card sets before 1945
My vote no particular order Honest / Duke Cabinets, S81 Silks, W600's, Rose Postcards, Creole Cigaretts PCL,.
Now I know I am leaving out many great sets like T204's , Goodwin Champions , Kimbells, Mayo's ,First Year Old Judges. And my list has changed over time. My Dad kept his 1941 Playball set from when he was a kid. When he would show them to me when I was very young I was blown away by how cool they were. He had 1 1934 Goudey a Mickey Cochrane and That was my favorite card set for a long long time. But every card on my list completly blew me away the first time I saw / Handled one. Would love to hear other love stories. Jonathan |

My top 5 of most aesthetically pleasing card sets before 1945
1) T3 Turkey Reds
2) 1911 Obaks 3) S74 Colored Silks 4) T205 Gold Border 5) T204 Patrick |
I think the W-711 Reds issued card set is beautiful!
I don't collect a lot of pre-war, but I have always liked the t205 gold border. And lately I enjoy the Obak posts. For oversize cards, I like the pastel R312. I also like the T202 Triple Folders. |
1909 Cabanas
1910 PC76 1910 E98 1914 E224 1929 Kashin Honorable mention; 1988 Score |
Here is the Brian list:
N162 Goodwin Champions T3 Turkey Red T212 Obak - 1911 W503 (Super sharp and clean design Black + White gets a nod) Diamond Stars And here is the five that Nairb, my somewhat backward collecting friend, insisted that I post: N28 Allen + Ginter T205 T206 E95 1933 Goudey Brian (I have learned my lesson and in the future will refuse to let Nairb butt into a Brian post) |
1933 Goudey
T227 Diamond Stars George C Miller 41 Play Ball |
1940 Playball
1921 Exhibits 1934 Goudey 1933 Delong T202 |
so hard to pin down, but here goes today's list:
1) T3 2) National copper Plate/ M-101-1 3) W600 4) N162 5) N173 OJ Cabinets honorable mention since this likely referred to baseball, but the Sweet Caporal Postcards in hockey are the best looking set of all! |
I can't believe that no one else listed Cracker Jacks.
In no particular order.... 1) 1914-15 Cracker Jack 2) 1910 Tip-Top Bread 3) T-206 4) 1933 Goudey 5) Diamond Stars |
1. N162 Goodwin Champions
2. T213-2 Coupons 3. T3 Turkey Reds 4. 1914 Cracker Jacks 5. 1933 Goudey Runner-Up: E94 Close Candy |

1933 Goudey
E90-1 Caramels T3 Goodwin Champions 1933 World Wide Gum Sea Raiders (the original post didn't specify baseball cards, and it's pre-war, so I'm counting it). If you haven't seen these before, they are spectacular. |
Great thread. For me:
N162 N28 T6 T205 C55 |
T227
T222 Cracker Jacks DeLong Obaks |
I'd have to go with:
N162 T205 1914-1915 Cracker Jack Diamond Stars 1933 Goudey. |
For me:
1. 1912 Boston Garters 2. T3 - Turkey Reds 3. T212 - all three years 4. N321 - SF Hess California League 5. T205 - Minor Leaguers first, then Amer. Leaguers, then Nat'l Leaguers |
