I used to recommend E93 as a simple cheap set for those new to prewar. Not sure I would do that anymore. My E93 set is poor-good, I have it estimated at around $10k. So I would figure a true VG set is probably $15-18k.
The T222 set would not be reasonable in VG. VG is pretty high grade for the set and it is actually an extremely difficult set to complete even in poor, take what you can find, condition. The first 20-25 cards are quite easy, cheap, and can be found in VG without too much difficulty, but then you'll hit the shortprints (Henry, Lelivelt, Schulte, Leibold, etc) and lets not forget Johnson (also a shortprint) and Alexander.
