So realistically, I'm down to my final 3: Oscar Charleston, Andy Cooper, & Deacon White. Of course, I'm always on the lookout for the unique oddball team postcard, CDV, or Cabinet of the "impossible" HOFers (of which, I have a few myself). Wonderful pursuit!! And as we HOF collectors all know: The best part is that you are never really finished! Always new HOFers inducted, e.g. Deacon White!

Ken - GREAT collection! I'm sorry I hadn't seen it sooner...if you ever find another contemporary Cartwright image and decide to sell your 1880's Taber Cabinet, please let me know. I would gladly take that off your hands (I'm sure it won't be cheap)!! And your Cuban cards are fantastic!
Good luck with your final three!
