What’s everyone’s favorite set? I’ll go first!

[Polarboy]

My favorite set atm is the 2003 Gallery HOF Set. As an art student I’m already a fan of painted sets, and gallery scratches that itch perfectly. I especially love the artist proofs which are a high quality refractor parallel! The checklist for this set, is as the name implies; full of Hall Of Famers. Including some stellar relics and autos! I only have a couple cards of this set atm, but am honestly considering grabbing more! Here’s a picture for reference. What’s everyone else’s favorite set? Let me know!

Gotta be T206
Nice colors and iconic Wagner card
2nd choice is my W-unc big heads

Mine is the T3. I do not have any but a beautiful set. I will get one some day. Either Safe At Third or Out At Third.........one day.

T202. In one card you get:

The equivalent of 2 T205s
A vintage action b&w photo
Interesting and extensive biographies on each of the 3 panels

All at an affordable price, especially the ones with HOFers in the center panel but not on the ends. Not my card but here's an example of Collins and Baker on a vintage, early career card, for under $200:

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.

Thanks Mike. Some nice cards back at ya!

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

[oldjudge]

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.

A few sort of in order.
