If you could build a mid grade set

[bbcard1]

I think that part of the thing about collecting is that it has to be something you can realistically acquire a card on your budget in a reasonable increment of time to be enjoyable. I think that is why the T206 set is so popular.

I am closing in on the Monster, though I expect to continually upgrade it. Next on deck for me...either a high grade 1961 set or a low grade DeLong. I have most of the 61 set save the high numbers (which are more than a notion) and I only have three DeLongs, but one is the Gehrig....

I already am building the 1925-31 PC Back Exhibit set.

T206 would be the obvious choice if the hypothetical allowed me to have the Wagner, Doyle, Plank, etc. If not, T202 would be interesting.

1 : T206 it is the set i ll try to build now, i love this set for all the short print card, all the HOF'er in this set, the color of the cards, different style of cards ( portrait , action ) . The only bad things , with the t206, is i will never have a 524 cards set, it is out of my price range. It is the only reason why , perhaps one day i will change my collecting focus and switch my T206 for goudey 33 cards. With the 33 goudey the only high price card to have is Lajoie and for my budget it is more a realistic set to complete.

2: my second set is the 33 goudey for sure, i really love the 4 ruth cards and the lajoie and his history behind this card....
