Al- I couldn't agree with you more about the R312s. They get no respect or love but are some pretty dang cool cards for not a lot of money, relatively speaking.
Sam- I see a #144 in there that looks pretty darned nice.
And thanks to everyone else who chimed in so far and/or posted a card. I actually got a smile looking at them and reading the comments..And I want to add, looking at these cards as art they really are striking.

I love the '33 Goudey Gehringer (with the purple background), the '34 Goudey Gehrig portrait, and the entire '38 Goudey set.
I also think that the 1930s black and white photo premiums are amazing, and incredibly undervalued.
And of course the R312 pastels are also fantastic.
And it's easy to forget the Sport Kings set, which is gorgeous!
An amazingly creative period in the hobby's history, for sure.
