What about color variations on portrait backgrounds, or just portrait backgrounds (all the green, all the red, all the yellow, etc.).

I actually only like a few of the portraits in the set, 1 of which (Green Cobb) isn't affordable to me anymore, and the other (Cy Young) is becoming increasingly difficult to afford.

I didn't include that in my list, but I'm also targeting all Hall of Famers.

I had a Shag OM back but had to move it to cover other purchases. Eventually I'll tackle the SL, but for now I'm just targeting a OM SL back (again).

How about T206 players that spent time in prison (Jerry Downs comes to mind, probably others?).

1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal[edit] Maharg's third connection with major league baseball came in 1919 as he conspired to fix the 1919 World Series—the infamous Black Sox Scandal. Several White Sox players, including Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, and Swede Risberg, conspired with Sleepy Bill Burns, a former big-league pitcher, to throw the World Series in exchange for $100,000. Billy Maharg worked with Burns to find financing. Maharg and Burns approached New York gambler Arnold Rothstein to raise the money for the players. Other gamblers soon entered the picture, whereupon the players, Maharg and Burns suffered multiple double-crosses. The White Sox did in fact lose the Series. In September 1920, a disgruntled Maharg gave the full details of the plot to a Philadelphia writer. Eight White Sox players were indicted for throwing the Series. When Maharg was called as a witness in the criminal trial, someone noted, “He flashed enough diamonds on his fingers to buy a flock of autos.” Maharg was asked, “Are you a ballplayer named “Peaches Graham?” The answer was, “No! I have never been anything but Billy Maharg. I know Graham, but I am not he.” (It has long been believed that Maharg's real name was Graham, or Maharg spelled backwards.) The Chicago jury found the eight players not guilty, and Maharg celebrated with the players afterward. All eight were subsequently banned from baseball for life by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Three of the former players implicated in the Black Sox Scandal were members of the 1912 Detroit Tigers: Sleepy Bill Burns and Jean Dubuc were both pitchers for the 1912 Tigers, and Maharg was one of the 1912 replacement Tigers. Actor Richard Edson played the part of Maharg in John Sayles' 1988 film Eight Men Out. |

George "Peaches" Graham and Billy Graham aka Maharg were two different people. |

Peaches Graham played Baseball 1902-1912. Billy Maharg (Graham) was a "local club boxer" 1901-1907. He is Maharg's boxing record: http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/125064 Officially he was 4-1-4. But if you add up all his fights he was 45-11-8. Any fight with NWS after result means "Newspaper decision." Basically some newspaper reporter would render a decision in his paper the morning after fight (mainly for the appeasement of bets). As you can see, he mainly fought in local Philadelphia Athletic Clubs. He was pretty much a bum. |

Here's one for you guys. I've had this card for a while now (actually had two at one point for some reason), but I targeted it due to a unique fact about him.
Neal Ball From Wikipedia... Although he was never famous for his defensive skills,[13] he achieved baseball history when he executed the first unassisted triple play in the MLB on July 19, 1909, doing so against the Boston Red Sox at League Park.[2][14][15] In the second inning of the game, Ball, playing shortstop, caught Amby McConnell's line drive, stepped on second base to retire Heinie Wagner, and then tagged outfielder Jake Stahl as he was advancing towards second.[16] Because the play was unprecedented and turned so swiftly, the ballplayers on the field did not know the inning was over and the crowd of 11,000 were unsure of how to react. Cy Young, the game's starting pitcher, was puzzled and asked Ball why he was leaving the field.[2] Once the fans in attendance realized what had happened, they gave him an ovation, while his teammates applauded him as he returned to the dugout.[2][17] In the following inning, with the crowd still cheering, he hit an inside-the-park home run into center field (the only home run he hit that season).[1][2] After the game, he was questioned in a post-game interview, a rare occurrence at the time.[12] He remained humble about the feat and reminded the reporters that "anyone could have made the play".[12] The glove that he used to make the unassisted triple play is on exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
