Collecting suggestions?

[Luke]

I made the same choice a few years back. Went with:
-e95 (25 cards and the most beautiful set ever imo)
-e96 (30 cards, produced by the same company the following year)
-1935 Goudey (36 cards cheap set full of HOFers)

Other ideas:
-1941 Play Ball (81 cards I believe, and a beautiful set)
-Delongs

A team set within T206 might be good, and you're probably close to a few of them. Or one of the other small subsets, 649OP or southern league. Or even one of the other minor leagues.

Or maybe a limited type collection of the easier T cards , one each T200, 201,202, 204,205,206, 207,213 Maybe including others depending on budget.

The sets suggested so far are also good ones. Small sets with some challenge but possible.

As Luke mentioned, most of the caramels sets are small and quite manageable, both from a size and cost standpoint though the Cobbs/Wagners/Mathewsons/Youngs don't help. Personally, I'm also drawn to quite a few of the oversized sets from the 30's as well (r311, w554, r303, etc). These are generally quite cheap, loaded with Hofers, and have great images.

If you give a few more likes and dislikes we might be able to help you narrow it down. The possibilities already given are very good. Some of the Goudey R series cards are still very reasonably priced compared to most other sets.

I have to say leon is right will need more info on what your likes and dislikes are. So many different sets to do.

If you have an interest in 19th century baseball the Mayo set is a possible candidate. It is under 50 cards, is very attractive, and has lots of HOFers.

Doing a Delong set was a great experience for me, but you have to get lucky on the Gehrig. Mine is pretty much straight As and 1s with an occasional 2 mixed in.
