If you had to collect one set in poor condition...

Hey Donny,

I'd pick T206s first. 1933 Goudeys second choice. Or if you're a tolerant fellow, what about shooting for Cracker Jacks, trying to put 176 together (and possibly an extra few) using a mixture of 1914 and 1915 cards. I think that kids collected them that way 95 years ago. With any of those choices you'll come up against a few expensive cards that can impede progress. Good luck with it. Let us know what you choose.

I'd take T212-3s

In poor condition, this set could be put together for about $10-15 a card (probably much less) with exception of the Ten Million & Buck Weaver.

The colors are fantastic even in off condition, and the size is very managable. Best imagines of any T set, imho.
