Underappreciated sets

[BioCRN]

Big fan of some of the "card game" issues.

1906 Fan Craze and 1913 National Game/Tom Barker Game are especially nice. They feature big photos/images and there's a decent amount of them out there in great condition for a reasonable price. Also worth mentioning 1914 Polo Grounds Game and 1936 S&S Game.

All great choices as underappreciated sets. Plus, the WG game card issues may be the most cost-effective way to get a high-grade Joe Jackson card from during his playing days. Same could be said for Cobb, Wagner, and other superstar players as well.

And in this period of crazy, escalated prices, the S&S game cards still seem to be almost ridiculously cheap. Just think where that 1933 S&S set would be today had they included Ruth and Gehrig in it.

I think the T206 set is really underappreciated

It's hard to beat the 1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums for the quality photography and how cheap they are.

+1 for Goudey Premiums. I'd also include National Chicle with thw Goudey Premiums and the W554 set.

The W554 set is only 18 cards but filled with HOFers (Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Ott among them).

I really love the M116 sporting life set, even though it's just portraits. I love the pastel greys and blues, the backs are really cool too.

The M116 Sporting Life is a set that really gets lost in the 1910 era card shuffle, but it is an extremely desirable set for many reasons, including its size, look, and how large of a set it is, and for the set collector it has plenty of rarities to keep it interesting.
