I would throw E93, E95, E96, and E92 Dockman in there before I would put T206 or T205. While the cards are easy to find, the obvious problem with T206 and to a less degree T205 is just the size of the sets. How many people do you know who started a T206 set, got 150-200 cards in and burned out?

How about T201 set as the easiest. Only a 50 card set with very little demand.

T201 & T202, 1939 Play Ball the high numbers can take a little while but far from difficult, actually all the Play Balls are doable, though I see 1940 sets the least of the three.

1936 Goudey for sure, IMO. I put a set together in a weekend buying cards from COMC and eBay. And even though I overpaid for a few, none were more than $50 (a low-grade Greenberg). 25 cards, only a few bigger names, and pretty cheap cards.
Easiest American tobacco baseball set is probably T201, IMO. 50 cards and the most expensive one, Cobb/Crawford, is only a few hundred dollars.

You're right about that one. That was the first pre-war set I put together. I remember the Cole/Kling card being really tough, but that was back in the SCD days. There are always a few examples sitting on eBay.

Yeah, at 25 cards this is about as small as it gets for "major releases", though it's boring as hell. With 36 cards I'd go with '35 Goudey (for the base set anyway). Way more visually appealing....and it's got Ruth (for better or worse depending on budget).

The 1936 S&S Game cards are relatively easy, and quite inexpensive to complete versus a lot of these other issues mentioned. Only question may be if someone feels the "game" cards are not true cards, but that is a matter of personal opinion. Only 50 cards in the entire set and something like 38% of them are HOFers.
