One of the bad things about the demise of the local card show is that it's tough for new people to hold cards in their hands and test whether it does anything for them. I recommend that you look for a low grade t206 for the Lajoie. You might someday add an Eddie Collins and a Larry Doyle. Maybe an Evers, too. I'd also start with rough but presentable samples of Frisch, Hornsby, and Gehringer from the 1933 Goudey set. There's also a Lazzeri in it. I don't think they're much more expensive than the Diamond Stars. More a matter of taste, I think.
