The Roaring Twenties?

I had always totally felt this way too, but since joining the board and being exposed to more and more of the various B/W caramel issues (many posted on main forum, and many offered on BST like Brian Van Horn's regular listings), many of the sets have grown on me including E120, E121, E122, E220, as well as some of the exhibits. Still can't bring myself to like strips through.

Here's a few favs picked in my life A.N. (After Net54)--

You have almost all of them...certainly lots of HOFrs I cannot get a hold of.

Big Kudo's - especially on the Alexancer, the Hornsbys, and the Sislers!

Thanks, all 3 of those raw ones and the Hornsby came from the BST. In addition to Ruth, HOFers like Sisler, Alexander, Heilmann also sucked me into the '20s sets because all played in a window that kept them out of many of the other huge sets that came before and after like T206 and Goudey.

There's some sweet ones on BST now.. many of which are pretty uncommon, but affordable

It's funny, because when I first started getting into vintage and pre-war collecting, I really didn't have any interest in the black and white cards. I didn't dislike them, mind you, but I felt somewhat indifferent. But then I looked at Jeff's post card collection (jb217676), and just fell in love with black & white. Next, I saw Adam's collection of Exhibit cards, and I was hooked. There's a real beauty and elegance in the simplicity of black and white photography. Now I see things like the Sporting News M101-2 supplements, and I really want to incorporate them into my collection. And once I begin collecting again in earnest, which will happen soon, there will certainly be a lot more diversity in my collection.

My 2 early Yankees from before I discovered EBAY- purchased from Teletrade via phone auctions...what a ripoff that was...both seller & buyer paid fees.
