'36 S & S set should be under $1k. So should be Gold Medal Flour set and most if not all of the Diamond Match sets.

Ifyou up the $$$ a little, you can do a W572 set. 121 possible cards and you can do it for under $3000 including the Ruth card and other HOF cards. Condition can be an issue but fun to collect. Sold my set of 108 cards for a little over $2000 in aiction. Set is not widely collected so not a crazy competition for cards like T206 or T205. Good long term project in my opinion.
