R330 Double Play, R312 Pastels, or Meusel Set
I'm working on a T222 set (marathon) and interested in a second set. I can't decide what to work on so I figured I'd hear some pros and cons of from everyone here. I'm heading to a show Sunday and would like to grab a few cards to get going.

The Meusel master set sounds the most fun to me, and I imagine it would be the most challenging and would expose you to a variety of sets that you might not otherwise collect.

I would go for the R312s — they're one of the most attractive sets of the 1930s, and they feature a nice mix of players, including some fantastic group shots (Wagner/Vaughn, Grove/Mack, etc.). Completing a set seems within reach. A Double Play set also seems like a reasonable goal, but it's almost all sepia portraits — I'd just as soon buy an old baseball guide for a fraction of the price and get pretty much the same thing. I agree a Bob Meusel collection sounds interesting, but I'd pick a player from the 1910 era or the 1930s instead because the cards are so much nicer. The same photograph is often used over and over on '20s cards, and when color is used, the artwork is mediocre at best. "Long Bob" did get a nice Exhibit card, though ...
