It's a fair point. I didn't really consider players outside of their playing days being included in later sets. In that case, the 1960 Fleer Greats would also merit consideration. Let's allow the Goudey set strictly because it isn't a historic set or subset like those others. And yes, some may say it's cheating for them to have issued Lajoie and Speaker, but they did it, so it counts in my humble opinion.
