Unfortunately, many pre-war sets failed to include some of the biggest stars in the game. For example, Walter Johnson hardly has any caramel cards at all! Besides his Cracker Jack and 1920's cards (e121, Neilson's Chocolate, etc) I can't think of ANY Johnson e cards. I guess the only explanation for this is that he played for subpar Washington teams his whole career. Here are a few cards that I think would have been awesome, but for some reason, were never produced:

Mayo Cy Young

t204 Ramly Cobb, Wagner, etc

t205 Wagner


So I guess this is a two part question:

1) What are your dream cards that were never actually produced?

2) Why on earth did tobacco and candy companies omit many of the great stars of the time from their sets?
