Thoughts on Fastest Pre War Set Gaining Popularity ?

deadballera · #1 07-01-2009, 12:48 PM

So what do you think ?

T3's ?

T210's ?

T212's ?

E98's ?

others ?

Are there any particular sets that have seen a jump in the number collectors seeking cards ?

Changing from one set to another ?
Expanding the collection ?

In the tobacco cards I have noticed more and more collectors jumping on T210s lately (red borders). I have also witnessed an increase in people collecting early Zeenuts, 1911-1920.
On the caramel card side I see a lot of people buying E90-1s and collecting them, perhaps this is because it is the "T206 of caramels" and of course I see new faces (or new ids I am not acquainted with) going after E94s and E98s.
Finally, I have noticed a real increased interest in postcard issues which are graded.

Postcards and M116s seem to be picking up steam.

The T3 peak has definitely passed, prices are way off from 1-2 years ago.

I think Postcards have taken off.....also, I still think T206 has seen increased collecting. It seems newer pre-war guys like them as much or more than our old veterans. The T206 backs really seem to be on fire too....

I'm with Matt on the M116s---this ole T206 man has been hiding a few away
himself.

T210's are hot for sure.

It's kind of cool when you collect a specific set for a year or so and you notice price changes because someone new takes a run completing a set.

I've seen it a few times with T205's where one guy wins a bunch of cards for a month and then burns out.

Heck I was probably that guy when I first started too.
