Help me decide which of these sets to pursue on the side?
Posted By: Dave F
I'm dedicated to the T206's....as slow of a process as it is...however I've been thinking about starting another set to the side. Maybe only pickup one lower grade card a month or so...and I'll never finish that set so it won't much matter other than something else cool to look at. I'd appreciate any thoughts on which of these two sets to grab a card of here or there... |

If you want something cool to look at it, you can't go wrong with the gorgeous T3's. Plus, they make nice compliments to t206's as many share the same or a similar image. |

It would be the same players you enjoy collecting now with the T206, very similar looking artwork style -- just jumbo sized cards. The two would go well together. |

I would go with N172. A large amount of the players from T206 are in the T3 set. With the OJ's, you will have a much different player selection. As Leon said, diversity is good. |

Ha ha...thanks for the email whoever you are about going after strip cards here or there..but um, no. It is between these two sets as they are the ones I really enjoy looking at. And with the money I have tied in to T206's, it would only be one pickup a month or so in the $150 range...so beaters. |

totally different era, players, style of card, image type...I would think that this would be a much more gratifying way to spend the dough...and you could immerse yourself in the history of a different era, which you might find important....I would think the T3s, while gorgeous, would frustrate given that its the same players, and indeed, buying the same image twice would feel like a waste of money (if money is a limiting factor)... |

I'm with you Dave, I like uniformity in my collecting habits too. Nothing wrong with having focus, there's so much nice stuff out there one could easily go broke real fast. |

The Monster is trying to distract you. You must not lose focus, lest the Monster eats you. |

How about doing it this way. Tell the Monster that it is the only one. And then have your mistress on the side. |

That's absolutely right. For some reason people have started recently to buy T-3s. A few weeks ago a card store in the Bay Area was carrying about a dozen T-3s, then after a week, all of them were gone. I get the feeling somebody or some group of people are trying to corner the market. |

Ha ha...i'm not quiting, not even close. Just like those two sets. The rate i'd pick any of them up at would hardly effect how many T206's I pick up. |

Maybe Peter didn't phrase that right. I think there are wayyyyy to many T3's out there for anyone to "corner the market". |

Peter- Which store in the Bay Area carries pre-war stuff? Is it South Bay Sports Cards? |

I've been type card collecting but i had a couple decent deals come my way and i now have 20% of the E95 set. I now have an eye out for E95's! I like a set like this because its small(25 cards) and the prices arent outrageously high. A set like this might be what your looking for. Esp if your only looking to pick up a card or two a month. You'll want to keep to a small set to give yourself a realistic chance of finishing it. |

I really like the E95's. They are one of the only sets I know of that have cards with really cool blue-sky-with-clouds backgrounds - eg McIntyre. But for some reason I've been thinking about tinkering around with E96's. Not sure why those over the 95's. I think overall the 95's are a nicer looking set. I just like the E96's for some reason - definitely the blue-green fade on some of the cards is awesome. |

I think this would be a great time to collect E96 if you wanna go for it. I think the set is underated considering how rare they really are. E95s are quiyr a bit easier. Thing is its low on HOF's which some dont like, but there great looking cards, and not ridiculously priced, good luck! |
