What set is the most under appreciated and why?

[UKCardGuy]

In my opinion, the W554 set if very under appreciated.

Full disclaimer: I've recently completed this set so I'm biased.

Reasons:

• Of the 18 Cards in the set 13 are HOFers.
• The W554 Ruth and Gehrig cards are much much rarer than their Goudey cards but the W554s can be had for a fraction of the price.

I agree with Jeff and Ryan, 1916 M101-4s and 5’s.

For all the reasons Jeff laid out, plus- the sets have 4 extremely difficult short prints adding to the challenge.. here they are..

A set that is very difficult to find and expensive to collect, leading to it being under appreciated, is the E107 set of 1903-04. The set bridged the gap between Mayos in 1895 and the caramel/tobacco sets of the 1908-10 era and had a number of important rookie cards as a result.

Forgot my 33 Tattoo Orbit pic. Absolutely love the design and the cards are very underappreciated.

M110 Sporting Life Cabinets

T202, M116, Delong and Batter-Up. Also most any non-paper "card" from pre-1920, whether silks, pins, disks, leathers, felts, stamps, etc. Finally, a shout-out for W575-2.

I don't see how T205 or T3 can be considered to be underappreciated. These are widely collected and have been all along. Plenty of hobby love there.

Exactly! Try building a T3 set, finding any at reasonable prices are a tough go.
I know, I'm working on one and its hard to add any at reasonable prices

1989 Smokey The Bear "A Century of Dodger Greats"

This was a freebie at Dodger Stadium consisting of a full 104 card sheet of Dodgers.

How does one manage a 104 card sheet at a baseball game? With some difficulty.

At least the borders were perforated, so fans could separate their cards while eating a Dodger Dog with Mustard

Very few of these left the stadium in mint condition, but the price was right.

This set is not junk wax as it was never available in wax packs.

I believe it is the only set that features Babe Ruth, Casey Stengel, Clem Labine and Steve Garvey as well as 100 other Dodger favorites.

I was foolish to dispose of mine years ago.
