The 1920's was another great Prewar decade for baseball cards, and I also believe just second to the 1910 era. You just have to shift gears and appreciate the black and white photographic aesthetic. The 1910 era will probably continue to reign supreme, because of the color artwork on most of the issues, but also because of the huge availability and interest in various sets (hello T206 and Cracker Jacks, for example). No set in the 1920's comes anywhere close to the availability of even the T205 set.
But as mentioned, there are great and interesting sets during the decade that deserve some attention and respect, and below are pictured some of my favorites from the decade (not all mine), just for the fadoodle of it.
