Thanks, as always,

It is indeed an outstanding set, and besides the nine other Hall of Fame players included, there are cards of Merkle and Eddie Cicotte, some players that had outstanding careers (Larry Doyle, Tommy Leach, Ed Reulbach), and even an eventual manager of the Red Sox, Bill Carrigan, who was the first manager of, and won two World Series in 1915 and 1916, with budding superstar Babe Ruth on the mound. So in my mind only 9 of the 25 are schlubs or semi-schlubs that you will need to pick up.
