1961 7-11 set. The cards are so ugly that hardly anyone collects them. I have only this one card from this set, because Runnels was my favorite player when I was a kid.

Val,
The 7-11 card looks like it was typed on a typewriter! |

The 1969 MLB sports collectors "stamp" set has always been affordable.

My choice would be to go after the 1964 Topps Stand Up set or the 1971 Greatest Moments.

Sometimes just patience and a little luck. Bargains for almost anything older is a ship that has mostly set sail, but you can find some deals if you are looking in the right place and at the right time. I was fortunate to dabble in some of the oddball sets at a decent time. My purchases were almost always Dodger related, so good in that regard. Bad in that I passed on adding other players or issues if there wasn't a Dodger or former/future Dodger. I sometimes wish I had focused even more on it when I did, but without an endless stream of money, I was always missing out on something. Heck, I will go through my vintage Topps and Bowman stuff and often realize with some level of shock that I am grossly underrepresented in certain sets, besides the Dodgers.
A lot of the real obscure stuff has fewer people fighting over it, but those people are not messing around and if they still need it, forget about it.

I once owned an antique convertible that a friend of mine who was a collector described as "rare and undesirable."
