National Game, Tom Barker, Polo Grounds sets
Gents - just wanted to start a little discussion around these sets as I've always found them interesting, but only recently started actually collecting one of them. They're a odd little niche; in that you can find the cards in relatively high grades (starting with round corners helps) and there's a lot of star power in the sets; but they aren't really "baseball cards" so much as they are their own thing that I'd classify as baseball card-adjacent.
Compared to T or E series cards of the same era, the pricing is generally fractions of these set's contemporaries.
Not really looking to guide a discussion or ask any questions, more curious about other's thoughts/feelings about these issues.
