Default Red Sox HOF Collection

For the past several years, one of my main collecting objectives has been to obtain at least one playing days card of every HOFer who has ever played for the Red Sox (depicting them as a member of the team). Some of the more difficult players thus far have been Heinie Manush (1936 WWG), Red Ruffing (1925 Exhibits) and Herb Pennock (E220), which I acquired this week (thanks Brian!). For Babe Ruth, I was lucky enough to pick up a decent E121-80, which lists him as a NY American, but shows him in a Boston uniform. This is as close as I will ever come to a true Boston Ruth card... For Cy Young, an E90-1.

I tried for the SGC 10 E107 Jimmy Collins in REA last night, but had to tap out.... Fan Craze it is (or maybe W600).

My question for the board is... Are you aware of any cards of the following players, showing them as a member of the Red Sox? As far as I can tell, there aren't any.

Jack Chesbro (Red Sox 1909)
Waite Hoyt (Red Sox 1919-1920)
Al Simmons (Red Sox 1943)

Finally, I see that a Jesse Burkett (Boston variation) W600 apparently exists, although I have not even been able to find an image of one. Has anyone ever seen one?

Thanks everyone!

Andrew

I believe Al Simmons is with the Red Sox on his 1939 Goudey premium. To my knowledge, no copy of the Burkett with the Red Sox has ever been located. If it was, it would be exceedingly expensive.

Simmons was with the Braves in 1939.

Thanks for the info, gents. It looks like I have Jimmy Collins left to go, and the rest either don't exist or are not realistically obtainable (Burkett).
