Welcome to the forum, Geoff, from a Brewers fan. 
Could you please stop kicking our butts, even if it's for just one season? I don't want to go to the grave with my only World Series memory being the Cardinals beating us in '82, with a former Brewer (Darrell Porter) winning MVP honors.
There are a lot of beautiful pre-war Cardinals for you to collect. In addition to the T206s, another manufacturer to consider would be the Goudey Gum cards of the 1930s. Some great Cardinal players from that era, including Rogers Hornsby, Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, and Frankie Frisch (pictured below).
Here are the two Cardinals I have in my relatively new pre-war collection thus far.
