Hey Ron,

Personally, I'd stay away from the Callahans, even though he's correct, it's a nice set. But there are some VERY tough cards in that set, and you will have to fork over some cash to get the set completed. Also, if you want a "photo" of the player instead of a stenciling, I'd pick something else.

Some ideas:
1969 Topps Deckle
1953 Bowman Black & White
1947 - 66 Exhibits
1952 Parkhurst

There are others, but you may have to go back into the 40s or earlier if you want to collect "black & white" cards.

Just some food for thought...

Jimi
