All the E sets with Wagner and Cobb. All the R and W sets with Ruth. Anything with Jackson.

T205 was my first prewar set. And it wasn’t too bad to collect the basic set many years ago. Inflation makes that harder now, but for most sets that’s the case.
But if you want to keep going and do the variations and create a Master Set (The EGGS), you are going to have a hard time! Even the Kraken E90-1 with its tough cards are actually easier than the EGGS set. Expensive, rarely seen and a very daunting challenge!

Any Topps set that has the All Star subset included in the high series.

The 4 short prints in the 1916 M101-4’s and M101-5 sets are incredibly tough. Single digits tough. Oscar Stanage portrait (m101-4) variation only 3 ever graded (Blank backs at least.) doing both master checklist is a huge challenge.
Lucky enough to own all 4 and both sets. Last edited by PhillyFan1883; 12-26-2022 at 12:35 AM. |

They are extremely tough, and very rare. Definitely my biggest problem, also.
