Collecting suggestions?

If you give a few more likes and dislikes we might be able to help you narrow it down. The possibilities already given are very good. Some of the Goudey R series cards are still very reasonably priced compared to most other sets.

I have to say leon is right will need more info on what your likes and dislikes are. So many different sets to do.

If you have an interest in 19th century baseball the Mayo set is a possible candidate. It is under 50 cards, is very attractive, and has lots of HOFers.

Doing a Delong set was a great experience for me, but you have to get lucky on the Gehrig. Mine is pretty much straight As and 1s with an occasional 2 mixed in.

Strip cards from the 20's are awesome and for the most part not terribly expensive. Example would be W572 cards. Only 3 expensive cards (Ruth, Conn, Johnson) but within reach.

I'm with steve b on this one.
Type collecting is fun and a great way to gain a broad brush understanding
of the whole card world of tobacco, candy, bread, strip, game, etc.---and the history of baseball itself.
all the best in your decision(s),

From an affordability standpoint, the T201 Mecca Double Folders set should be considered.....
