Dammit! Thanks Steve for making my head burst into a million particles of tiny shame. You are absolutely correct. I officially make you my double-checking right hand man, because the fellow typing this sentence obviously should not be in accounting.
Here is what I have to offer now, which is what I originally came up with but accidentally eliminated Cy Cleve from the list, causing this whirl of blunderbusses. Please note that besides Cy (Cleveland) now being 7 points, I have downgraded Bemis, O'Connor and Seigle from 3 points back to 1 point each.
20 Joe Jackson
10 Tris Speaker
10 Honus Wagner (throwing)
7 Hugh Duffy
7 Mike Mitchell
7 Honus Wagner (batting)
7 Cy Young (Cleveland)
5 Fred Clarke (Pittsburgh)
5 Ty Cobb
5 Willie Keeler (red background)
5 Jake Stahl
5 Bill Sweeney (Boston)
5 Ed Walsh
4 Peaches Graham
4 Christy Mathewson
4 Eddie Plank
4 Cy Young (Boston)
3 Bob Bescher
3 Patsy Dougherty
3 George Gibson (back)
3 Harry Howell (wind up)
3 Ed Karger
3 Willie Keeler (throwing)
3 Addie Joss (throwing)
3 Nap Lajoie
3 Tommy Leach (throwing)
3 Hans Lobert
3 Larry McLean
3 Dots Miller (sunset)
3 Orval Overall
3 Dave Shean
3 George Stone (left hand showing)
3 Jerry Upp
1 each for the rest of the 88 cards
A complete set of 121 would thus be 250 points
And here is a breakdown of each point level:
1 x 20 = 20
2 x 10 = 20
4 x 7 = 28
6 x 5 = 30
4 x 4 = 16
16 x 3 = 48
88 x 1 = 88
---------------
121 cards
250 points
Am I right? If so, let's put me out of my misery.
