T202
Everything said about the wonderful T205, except stats and gold borders, is included in a T202 card, plus you get 2 of them. And the bonus is, you also get a 110+ year old action photograph depicting the players of the day, with extensive, interesting accounts of the action and players pictured on the reverse.
Plus, the cards are relatively inexpensive. Looking for a pre- WW 1 Lajoie card for less than $300? There's one on ebay now (not mine) for $275 delivered, and it's graded SGC 6! How can you beat that? You get Lajoie batting in an actual period photograph, plus the (almost) equivalent of 2 T205 cards, on the back you have 3 different accounts of the depicted players, and it's slabbed and graded 6.
Best vintage set, best value, most informative card backs, best use of color mixed with vintage photography.
