A pre-war set in lower grades. Should I go SGC or PSA?

Neither! Raw, all day, every day!

I like my 1934 goudey set at 96 cards.

If you are looking to collect a whole set, raw is definitely the way to go. My W572 set is raw in binders and I also have an 1921/1922 E121 set for display on ny wall in cabinets. These are graded for display. I have fun seeing the E121 cards daily and flipping thought the W572 when I feel like it. My E121 cards are SGC graded which is best in my opinion.

E95 is a nice set in that it is only 25 cards and can realistically be completed. Wagner and Cobb are expensive cards in the set, with Matty and Plank just a step behind those two. But a low-grade set can still be completed without breaking the bank. There is also sufficient bang for the buck in the set in that there are 9-10 HoFers in the set, as well as Black Sox pitcher Eddie Cicotte.

If you want to put together a T-card set then I'd highly recommend the T201 because NONE of the cards are that difficult to find. The Cobb is reasonable. You could almost put together a set in a short period of time if you have the $$$ to do so. If you don't have the $$$ then this set is for you because you can stop collecting it at anytime and pick up again and the cards will be available.

This is exactly the set that I was going to suggest. If you are interested in the deadball era, this is the easiest set.
