I sorted out all of the Hall of Famers, Southern Leaguers, Minor Leaguers, and Short prints and attacked it that way.
Mine also had a bonus card - Eddie Collins batting that I don't believe was produced in any form aside from proofs (Charlie Sheen owned it, and I want to say that Keith Olberman has it now?). I don't think mine had the Joe Doyle NY Natl.
Here's a link to the Collins -

Yeah...Beckett has it at 526 total cards...but says the set is 520....really the main set is 523 with three variations (which I do not have). The set is in order of the checklist so yes....would be super helpful for you pre-war guys.
