1920's set collecting...

[smtjoy]

Lots of good choices listed, being partial to exhibits, I really think the 1921 is a great set to collect. Only 64 cards, includes lots of great action shots and full of hofers including Ruth, Cobb, Wajo, Collins, Alexander, etc. Also reasonably priced with only the Ruth selling for over $400.

Don't forget to consider the Exhibit sets too!!

The E121-120 is a great set, but there are 3 different Ruth cards in that set, so the cost can get quite steep. You might instead look at the E121-80 set, which only has one Ruth card (not counting all of the different name/back variations), and which IMHO is one of the best looking images of Ruth on a card. Something you also might want to look at is which cards of Ruth, Cobb, Wojo and Gehrig (if the set is 1925 or later) that you like the most, and go after that set.

(1) 1926-29 Exhibits - lots of great cards but with 2 Ruth's and 2 Gehrig's (not including variations)
(2) 1922 E120 - popular larger set
(3) 1928 Harrington/Tharp/Yuengling - numbered set, typically reasonably priced

Thanks to everyone for all the good advice and suggestions. It looks like there's more going on in the 1920's than I first thought.

Time to start doing some research on the mentioned issues and figure out which one I like best.

Thanks again!
