What set or sets contain cards of all five of the first Hall of Fame players while they were all still active? I think I know of one...post answers if you got'em.

Nevermind no Mathewson I just checked.

The problem is finding a set where there is overlap when Ruth was just starting and Mathewson was finishing up, which was 1916...narrow window there.

I can't find an answer to the question.

W514 has all 5 of them, but Matty's card says "former" pitcher, as he had not played for several years by the time the set was issued (1919).

Cheers,
