Your Top 5 of most Aesthetically pleasing card sets before 1945
My vote no particular order Honest / Duke Cabinets, S81 Silks, W600's, Rose Postcards, Creole Cigaretts PCL,.
Now I know I am leaving out many great sets like T204's , Goodwin Champions , Kimbells, Mayo's ,First Year Old Judges. And my list has changed over time. My Dad kept his 1941 Playball set from when he was a kid. When he would show them to me when I was very young I was blown away by how cool they were. He had 1 1934 Goudey a Mickey Cochrane and That was my favorite card set for a long long time. But every card on my list completly blew me away the first time I saw / Handled one. Would love to hear other love stories. Jonathan

I think the W-711 Reds issued card set is beautiful!
I don't collect a lot of pre-war, but I have always liked the t205 gold border. And lately I enjoy the Obak posts. For oversize cards, I like the pastel R312. I also like the T202 Triple Folders.

Here is the Brian list:
N162 Goodwin Champions T3 Turkey Red T212 Obak - 1911 W503 (Super sharp and clean design Black + White gets a nod) Diamond Stars And here is the five that Nairb, my somewhat backward collecting friend, insisted that I post: N28 Allen + Ginter T205 T206 E95 1933 Goudey Brian (I have learned my lesson and in the future will refuse to let Nairb butt into a Brian post)

so hard to pin down, but here goes today's list:
1) T3 2) National copper Plate/ M-101-1 3) W600 4) N162 5) N173 OJ Cabinets honorable mention since this likely referred to baseball, but the Sweet Caporal Postcards in hockey are the best looking set of all!

Talkin' BB cards....aesthestically speaking
N162.... Lithography at it's best. It is my favorite set.
 #2  . .  #3  .  #4   #5  AND.... These two groups aesthestically please me, but not the T205 Major League images. T205 Minor Leaguers......12 subjects (late 1911 issue)   T80 Military series......50 subjects (early Spring 1911 issue)   TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

1933 Goudey
E90-1 Caramels T3 Goodwin Champions 1933 World Wide Gum Sea Raiders (the original post didn't specify baseball cards, and it's pre-war, so I'm counting it). If you haven't seen these before, they are spectacular.
