There are a number of very good players who played from 1937 to 1947 who aren't well-represented with cards, including Sewell, Claude Passeau, Terry Moore, Whitey Kurowski and others. For some reason, there are no active Cubs (too much competition for Wrigley Gum?) in the Play Ball sets, a definite shortage of Cardinals, and no cards of many stars (Feller, Appling, Mize, Slaughter, Boudreau, Grove, Dizzy Dean, Lombardi, etc.). Unless you like Exhibits or picture pack photos, you're often out of luck. Wartime paper shortages likely played a role as well ...
