Assuming he meant "aesthetic," unless we're restricted to choosing sets produced by Estee Lauder.

Someone said Estee Lauder. The E91 sets come to mind.

Default God I Love This Site.
It is threads like this that confirm just how fan-flippin'-tastic this site is. I wonder what the percentage would be if you asked a 1000 people on the street to NAME ten sets, period. Unless that street was outside of the National, I would say pretty daggone low..

I'm not trying to start a fight or anything - but where is the beauty in the t207? It's just one of those sets I have a really hard time seeing anything great about it. It's just so, red

I do like your choice of D311 - very underrated.

I was at a very small card show in Arlington TX over the weekend. BTW, Roger Neufeldt was there and was making his way to the National. He said he had visited some family and done another show or two on the road. I think that is why he wasn't at Chantilly last weekend.

However, there was another dealer there, from KS, with a few vintage cards. He was selling one as an E101 but it was an E92 Dockman. No biggie. But he had another game card that he had no clue about. I told him it was a 1906 Rustlers Game card, worth about $10-$20. He seemed impressed I knew what it was. It didn't hurt that I was wearing a shirt with a D304 Cobb on it. I had a great time at the show. There is no substitute for them.

Aesthetic-wise a few of my picks would be....(how anyone can leave off T205 I really don't know....just absolutely gorgeous cards)

T205
T204
D311
T330-2
E136 Home Run Kisses
D359
E221
T206
T212
R327 Diamond Stars
