I'm drawn to the old photography, too. The minor league cards seem to have been a little more homespun and low-down in their depictions, and somewhat more evocative of the era (which matters to a nostalgic old fut such as myself). I also love the peripheral stuff that shows up like the fence advertising, wooden out-buildings, the odd old car etc. The '20's Zeenut issues, the Contentnea black'n'whites and the Billikens seem to have alot of that. The T210s not so much but they are to be appreciated as much or more for their rustic quality. You can't beat Obaks either as little works of art. The Billikens and Contentneas are expensive and don't show up with any great frequency but the others are much easier to be had.
