Posted By: <b>jay behrens </b><p>Done to one set left to figure out. ACC designation is d380, comprised mostly of minor leaguers, but I forge thte name of the bakery that issued it, so not sure if it int he SCD big book. Once I figure out which players made the majors my database should be complete.<BR><BR>This database is comprehensive in that it does not list every card that every player appeared on. I generally only listed the most common sets that a player appeared in. Players such as Ruth, Cobb, etc I listed one or 2 sets since there is no shortage of cards avaiable from those players.<BR><BR>for those not familiar with my project, I want to collect one card of every player that appeared on a card between 1908 and 1945. Cards with multiple players are not of interest, so they are not in my database, same for pins, large size cards (i.e larger than a post card) and anything else I felt was not a 'card'.<BR><BR>The total number of different players with cards currently stands at 2299, 899 of which appear on only one card.<BR><BR>I also am curious as to hard hard cards from the following sets are to locate:<BR><BR>Father & Son Shoes<BR>Tarzan Bread<BR>Star Player<BR>Koester Bread<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>did some bad math last night. There 2301 different players on cards from the span I am interested in. 880 appear on only one card. <BR><BR>As for the D380 Clemente Brothers Bakery issue, the SCD big does not list them, so if someone has a checklist, I would greatly appreciate getting it.<BR><BR>I am also curious as to how hard Voskamp Pirates cards are to locate.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Clements are listed in the minor league section of the SCD.<BR><BR>Voskamps are pretty obscure. Mike Wheat sold a small group of them about two years ago. Since then I've only seen one offered (in the Collectible Classics Auction).<BR><BR>A Tarzan "common" sold for over 1K in the last Lipset auction. I've seen less Tarzan cards than any other on your list.

Posted By: <b>jay berhens</b><p>Thanks for the info. Guess the old Tarzans are gonna be a long time in waiting to fill the set. 3 players make their only appearance on Tarzan cards. <BR><BR>Didn't realize there was a minor league section in that book. Looks like a bumch more work in front of me.<BR><BR>Jay
