My co-favorite sets are 1910 E222 A.W.H. Caramels (because I collect Va. League cards and love rare cards) & 1925 Holland Creameries (because I collect cards of all the players who were on the 1924 WS Champion Wash. Senators team).

PreWar...T205 beautiful little pieces of art
Postwar...1959 Topps While I remember seeing '58s and holding some in my hands the '59 cards were the first I owned. I still get a wave of nostalgia flipping through them.

Not really a set collector, as I'm first and foremost a player collector.
But if I'm collecting a set, then it's probably going to be something that not many people collect, and that are hard to find. Lately, I've been working on a few. Hard to pick just one because they're all special in their own way. Try not to hate the fact that they're all postwar. Here's the list: 1953-1954 Briggs Meats 1960 Bazooka Complete Boxes 1962 Jell-O Complete Boxes 1971 Bazooka Numbered 1973 Topps Comics

If the 13-card Jackie Robinson Bond Bread rookie set counts, I'll go with that. Otherwise can't beat the iconic T206

What’s everyone’s favorite set? I’ll go first!
If I could collect from only one set, would be the 1933 Sport Kings. So many sports, really great bios on back, a playing days Ruth, female athletes, Native American, native Hawaiian, a card with a dog. Notably missing any black athletes...but quite a diverse and beautiful set otherwise.

So many candidates but…
I will go with the N162 set, such a beautiful early set with amazing artwork. I dont really have a favorite but having to pick just one today it is that one. (For some reason cant load images right now)

LOVE T205s & Turkey Reds, even though I only have ONE T3...T3 Cobb - resized.jpg
T205 Baker SGC 55 F.jpg Non-Sport - Mars Attacks! TO have been a 10-year-old and collected them in 1962 AND to have one of my Nun Teachers find them in MY desk...I SURELY would have been KILLED! |

T206 is the king of all sets.
But how on God’s green has nobody mention the 1914 Cracker Jack set, yet?!?! |

Asking for a favorite set is a tall order. My mind changes all the time. Today, I'm going with T200. Sixteen card set with all the major stars included (Wags, WaJo, Matty, Thorpe, Cobb, Lajoie, Joe Jackson and the rest).

Hands down, N172.
For me, the cards make 19th century baseball truly come alive because the images are real photos. They pair so well with books like David Nemec's The Great Encyclopedia of 19th Century Major League Baseball and The Beer and Whiskey League. And there are the goofy poses!

Prewar - T206
Post War - 1955 Topps is Loaded with Stars and Rookies plus 206 Cards is not insurmountable for this great classic ball card set.

THANKS, Jay!
ex-Orly Collection - and a card that I NEVER thought I'd own! It's ONLY a PSA-1 for a couple of specks of paper loss on the reverse, but a BEAUTY, IMO anyway... |

I'll have to go with 1933 Goudeys, but the T205 set is a pretty close runner-up, especially in high grade.

For pre-war I have to agree with Bob that the T3's bring a particular allure. I don't collect T3's primarily due to size issues, but I like the set.

T3 is a great set. What attracted me to it is that many action poses are the same in t06 (Cobb bat on, matty, wajo, etc). Most sets I collect are offshoots/have same poses as t206 poses - e107, w600, Rose Co PC, T3 Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 03-15-2024 at 06:20 AM. |

For me, not surprisingly, it's Old Judges. It was the first major baseball card set and I believe the greatest set ever produced. It has almost 30 HOFers and an incredible array of scarce teams represented.

I rarely have a real favorite, and it can change day to day
A few sort of in order. George C miller 41 Goudey 48 Leaf T204 1950 Drakes 48 Bowman. |

T205 for me.
Stats on back, portraits, vibrant colors, player signatures, it really has it all. |

For post-war, it's a toss up for me, 1953 Bowman color and/or those wood-paneled, Halloween-backed 1962 Topps.

My favorites are the 1908 PC760 Rose Co. postcard and the 1902-11 W600 Sporting Life cabinet sets.
If I had to choose just one, I would probably go with the Rose Co. set. I love the black and white portraits (mostly taken by Horner) coupled with the green backgrounds, white baselines and figural players along with the ornate gold embossing. With a total of 206 different subjects, most people do not recognize how large the 1908 set actually is. Each of the 16 Major League teams is represented by 12 players - usually 8 fielders and 4 pitchers. Plus, the Scranton Minor League team has another 14, including Moonlight Graham. There are 26 Hall of Famers including virtually all of the day's stars. There are many levels of scarcity within the set. Some of the cards have only a single known example while some of the more popular players of the day have nearly 10. Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 03-15-2024 at 05:50 PM. |
