30's Sets
To echo what Frank said, I started mainly as a HOF collector and the card had to be comtemporaneous to their playing days. So in came the Goudeys. After collecting awhile I thought it would be challenging to put a set or two together. What were my criteria for selecting which sets to build, 1.) design, 2.) HOF selection, 3.) size/# of cards and the realistic chance to complete in a moderate stretch of time and 4.) cost. After it was all boiled down I landed on Delongs and Tattoos based on my criteria. I probably like the George Millers the best out of all listed but based on my criteria that was not a realistic goal. Although I love B&W cards (particularly the 20's sets) I have never developed even a mild interest in the S&S as a collector. I once bought a complete set and traded it to Mike Wheat at the 2000 National for 3PC796s and 2 Eastern Exhibits. Great post btw Rob.
