Lefty
Lefty Grove is also highly collected, and i always look for his cards. One of the all-time great pitchers (number 6 all-time WAR)!! Have a couple of his Diamond Star, the goudeys, and the US Caramel.
Others that dont stand out statistically but are clearly popular with a subset of prewar collectors…..Among many others I also collect Jewish ballplayers, mostly because when i got involved in the hobby it was a nice small subset with interesting cards that helped me learn prewar (it was overwhelming…still is at times. Especially compared to growing up with one Topps set a year).
Also collect the “deaf” guys, Dummy Hoy and Taylor. I use hearing aids today (to great effect), and admire the accomplishments of those from an era with no help available at all. I might have been a Dummy in another era.
I would post more pictures, but the images i have stored on my phone no longer seem to upload as of the last month or so. I used to be able to choose file size to upload, then that stopped. Now i cant upload at all, it gets rejected. Leon? What happened?
