What is the best pre war design?

[Manny Trillo]

I fell in love with this recently, and I paid the most I've ever paid for a card for it. 1910 Tip Top Bread. They only did the world champions team from 1909---the Pittsburgh Pirates The design in the background, even after a hundred years, gives a shimmer to the card.

I gotta go with T202...it combines action with portraits...the beauty of the colorful t205 with a black and white action photo in the middle. Bio on the back...it's got it all!!!

I really only like the National League portraits in T205. The American League cards with the frames is just too busy.

I used to be a big fan of T205's but not so much now for some reason. Like some others have said, I always liked the National League cards better.

T202s are kind of awkward shaped though. Otherwise, I agree, great cards...

I like the simple elegance of the t206 portraits and the use of color in T3's and the E145's. Nothing fancy for me, just a classic look.

As one interested in baseball history, especially the century pre-1970, I would love to see a series of T202 style cards (50-100 perhaps more) for every year commemorating key events and outstanding performances. Even one card per date for each year would help preserve the game's history chronologically in card form.

Sounds like a project Steve?
