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. |
I did the teamset with the card

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?
