I've been reading these forums and some others for about six months I guess, and have wondered that myself. But I don't know that anyone can tell you? For instance I find some vintage cards "ugly" and would never have much interest in collecting them. Others I find attractive and intriguing. Anyway I can't tell you which way to go; but I have leaned towards the 1941 playball cards - they dont' see overly expensive and its a reasonably sized set that I might be able to finish in a few years. After that who knows what.... |

Depending if you like color or black and white sets the E120 and E121 sets are nice. I picked up a group of 8 E120 cards, in decent gd-vg+ condition, with about 3 HOF'ers and Smokey Joe Wood, about a month ago on ebay for $110 for the whole group. I think it was a great deal but they can be had...If you are wanting early caramel the e92's (Dockmans) would be a good start and can be found in decent shape for not a ton of money. Good luck... |

I think Peter meant to say '35 Goudey (the "4 on 1" set), not the '38 which has no Ruth. |

If you want a high % of HOFers and fairly cheap cards overall. The 1931 W517 set is good and can be completed in less than year. The easiest of the Goudey sets in the 1936 and also has a few HOFers. Another good start is one of the smaller R314 sets like the R314 Creamy set. |

1921 Exhibits are somewhat easy. It's a small set and the key cards of Cobb, Johnson and Ruth can be had relatively cheaply. |

First I'll tell you which cards to buy at a discount over every other collector, and then I'll even buy them from you at a premium so you can get off to a great start in the hobby |

Mike, the cheapest prewar cards are whatever I happen to be selling at the time. Conversely, the most expensive prewar cards are whatever I'm interested in buying. Of course those cards change as my tastes change. |

Fred, I think the last Ruth I saw sold for around $500 in Good condition. I've seen Cobb anywhere from $120-$200 in VG and the Walter Johnson card seems to pop up a lot usually in the $150-200 range for VG. |

Why not start at the beginning? The N28 set is one of the first recognized card sets. It has ten players and six of them are in the HOF. |

Fred, I fancied putting the set together, but put it off to concentrate on other pursuits. Most of the "Commons" can be had for less than $20 in VG or better and often times less than $10 each. And then you can get lucky and pick up a card like Frank Frisch for $15 like I did a few months ago.... |

I think the 1915 Cracker Jack set is a nice start. Not as cheap as some as g/vg commons will still bring 75-150, however that cards are great looking, it has a lot of HOF, is completeable and has a great amount of history. It is also one of a few sets that has players in the Federal League. You can get decent looking SGC 10-20 for in the 50-75 range. |
