S74 silks get virtually no love or exposure, despite sharing some history and images with the T205, T202, and Piedmont art stamps. They have different advertising backs/brands they are issued with, as well as multiple colors of ink used, making a master set or color runs difficult, but fun. There are some very extreme rarities, especially with certain of the advertising backs, and a few known proofs that are never seen. In regards to the S74-1 white silks, they originally came with an attached advertising back, that is virtually unique in regard to baseball cards and collectibles, really nothing else like it. And the S74-2 colored version silks come in so many different material colors/shades that is can make collecting as many as you can truly amazing. You don't have to worry about S74 silks being faked, never heard of a known instance of a counterfeit one ever being encountered. They are also purposely intended to have been utilized in making pillows, slip covers, and other items, so you can actually find them as part of folk art or actual items from the past. And maybe best of all, you don't have to listen to all the issues and complaints in regard to a certain TPG as they don't even grade them, and because those TPGs that do grade them do such a terrible job, virtually no serious S74 silk collectors are really that interested or concerned with having them graded. So the issues and arguments of graded versus non-graded pricing when it comes to S74 silks is pretty much mute.
