Should the Frank Smith Chicago and Boston card count in the completion of White Sox?
 
I keep going back and forth and my spreadsheet that I made has it filed as a different team:

Chicago and Boston

What do you guys think do the Sox have 27 or 28 cards counting the Frank Smith ?

I have him listed with the White Sox.

Rats. I'll have to get really lucky to get that card and complete my Graded Sox collection. Counting that 22 out of 28.

I guess the card is intended to be a Boston card more so than a Chicago card, but he was such an important piece of Chicago teams in the early 1900's that I would include him. If you don't include him, you will always feel like something is missing from your subset.

You're right Dave the first Sox pitcher to throw TWO no-no's. The next and only other Mark Buehrle.

I always ask that to fans as trivia. As well as Besides Mark Buehrle who is the only Sox pitcher to record a win and a save in the same World Series?

Answer: Guy "Doc" Harris White.

And he is wearing a White Sox uniform on the card.

Has that card always cost a small fortune or has it become horded lately like Titus ?

That card is one of the toughies, the short-printed versions of another card. The eight short-prints are:

O'Hara St.L
Demmitt St.L.
Elberfeld, Washington
Dahlen, Brooklyn
Lundgren, Chicago
Smith, Chicago+ Boston
Browne, Washington
Kleinow, Boston

Crap coulda won a Kleinow Boston catching for $50. I was more focused on a Jennings portrait.

I'm including it in the White Sox Master set that I'm putting together.

Kleinow doesn't get the love that it should.

Does anyone else think that none of those should be considered for completion but only as a variation?
