I like the e90-1 American Caramel set. The Joe Jackson
Is expensive but it's a great set.
If you feel a lot of the players overlap with t206 and t205 you could go to the 1920's
I really like the American Caramel sets from the 1920s. 1921 and 1922 are great. 1927 is also fun to collect. They are challenging and they have Babe Ruth in the set.

1933 DeLong ... cool cards, challenging but not crazy impossible to find, a small set of 24 cards loaded with Hall of Famers, but the only big money one in lower grade is Gehrig.

I have an all-PSA graded set minus Gehrig, if you want to just put it to bed on one fell swoop!

How about e92 Dockman (no Cobb and Wagners are fairly common, plus some greats like Matty and Young). I also really like an e101 or e102 set (same fronts and e92). Another couple of cool sets are D304 (and lots of back variations) or the D322 Tip Top (Wagner will cost you an arm and leg). Finally, T3 is, in my opinion, the prettiest set of all time with many t206 action poses and a ton of great players.

Default 1933 George C. Miller
1933 George C. Miller set is great- 32 card set without huge hall of fame players. The Foxx and Dean are pricey- but can be obtained. There is also a chase card- Ivy Andrews that has a cool back story. Good luck with the hunt.

W514 is relatively affordable if you’re ok with blank backs and period art. Has numerous ‘Black Sox players’, Joe Jackson, as well as Ruth’s curse of the bambino card.

CUT IT OUT!!! It’s already hard enough to find DeLong cards at a decent price.

Mike,

Love this thread.

I get pigeonholed into T206 and thanks to you guys have now looked up every set mentioned and learned a little more about them.

Appreciate you guys expanding the collecting horizons

E90-1 seems like a great option, I’ve always loved the pastel colors on the M116’s.

“Side hustles” are an awesome part of cards.

My side collecting interests have gotten me into post war (56 Topps HOF’ers), as well as Olympic cards of various Chariots of Fire runners. One day I’ll start the 1910 National Licorice track athletes as well.

I even bought an Olympic postcard last week, something I never thought I’d get into…. Would be another fun rabbit hole for you to look into…

Will enjoy following your decision and future progress!

Matt Galvin

Fun and easy set, quirky yet satisfying to hunt.

E90-1 is the t206 of caramel cards.

As a few mentioned I would also agree the e90-1 American Carmel set is a great choice if you are looking for sets that are "relatively uncommon" compared to sets like the Goudey, Cracker Jack etc.

There are 120 cards in the set, which is a good amount to continue set collecting for a while. Lot of HOFers and as someone mentioned Joe Jackson is in it, with what is considered his Rookie Card.

Tattoo orbit could be fun. It has big names like Hornsby and Foxx, but no Ruth or Gehrig to sink the budget.
