Default Most underrated pre-war set?
My vote goes to the T202. I mean, what's not to like?? Lots of stars, 2+ players per card, nice portraits and center image on front, nicely designed backs with "story" on middle panel, etc.

Or maybe it's more appreciated than I realize?

What's your pick? (I know there are a million issues but pick one you think is underappreciated)

I know this sort of thread is not new, but I my opinion this is an "evergreen" sort of topic that can be dredged up now and again.

T205. I would also say t3 Turkey Red. They used to be a lot more popular than they are today, but seem to be largely forgotten.

Almost all pre war sets are underrated when you have the Monster to deal with.
t206 is the most popular set by such leaps and bounds , but it seems pedestrian to some of us.

My favorite is t205 but it’s pretty widely collected and revered too.

T202, E90-1 and OBAK are certainly contenders for the title of this thread.

Seems like there are quite a few based on the replies. Were any of these sets "hot" at anytime or have they always been out of favor? A few mentioned the T202s which I am not too excited about but nobody can deny the HOF presence. Based on the sheer size of the cards I would expect high grade examples to be far less common compared to some of the smaller T cards.

Diamond Stars.

I wouldn't say t205s are underrated. They are fairly popular.

Of course i am going to say T210. It has everything. Former and future Major League players, a couple HOF'ers, interesting poses and stories and some players who arent represented in any other card issue.

I think the E94’s are really underrated. Quite rare condition sensitive caramel set, 6 different color backs, and have been way underpriced for far too long.

Don't you think all caramels are a bit underrated right now?

Outside of the CJ’s, I do think they are and have been for a long time.

In the small set category....I'd say the T209 CONTENTNEA set is unappreciated. Only 16 colorful cards, which are not to difficult to find.







Large set category....the T212 OBAK set is worthy of more show-n-tell on Net54.

T205 hands down for me. Also love T207's as well. As for value, I'm shocked that the bi-folds and tri-folds go so cheap. Amazing to me what you can get T201's and T202's for. T201's are beautiful IMO and no one seems to give them any love. It's a real shame.
