I would go for the R312s — they're one of the most attractive sets of the 1930s, and they feature a nice mix of players, including some fantastic group shots (Wagner/Vaughn, Grove/Mack, etc.). Completing a set seems within reach. A Double Play set also seems like a reasonable goal, but it's almost all sepia portraits — I'd just as soon buy an old baseball guide for a fraction of the price and get pretty much the same thing. I agree a Bob Meusel collection sounds interesting, but I'd pick a player from the 1910 era or the 1930s instead because the cards are so much nicer. The same photograph is often used over and over on '20s cards, and when color is used, the artwork is mediocre at best. "Long Bob" did get a nice Exhibit card, though ...
