Daniel, you might like T202s then. They're definitely oddly shaped. The two side portraits are much like their T205 counterparts, if slightly less ornate. You have some great b&w photography in the middle, too. The set has a nice mixture of stars and common players. And, if you're patient, you can find some of them in nice condition without breaking the bank.
Here's my most recent T202 buy
Some nice colorful, more common players on the outside, and a nice shot of the Philadelphia A's infield in the middle. That's Connie Mack's famous "$100,000 infield", which was comprised of the slick shortstop Jack Barry, the great first baseman Stuffy McInnis, who totaled 2,405 hits and 1,062 RBI while hitting .307 in his 19 year career, and two Hall of Famers, Frank "Home Run" Baker, and perhaps the greatest second baseman to ever play the game, Eddie Collins, who went by the nickname "Cocky". Baker won the American League home run title in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, hitting .307 with 96 home runs and 987 RBI in the deadball era. But Collins was the star, collecting 3,315 hits in his career along with 1,821 runs, 1,300 RBI, 741 stolen bases and a lifetime .333 batting average. That group helped the A's win the World Series in 1910, 1911 and 1913.
That beautiful card, which I feel is undergraded, cost me $45. I'm assuming the card's grade was lowered because of the stamp on the card's back. This is one time where a mark made a card much more affordable while also adding to the card's mystique. I think the 47 stamp makes the card more interesting.
There are more expensive cards in the set, of course, but the majority of the set can be put together for a comparatively smaller cash outlay.
So Daniel, this may be something you want to consider, too. Good luck!
