Well as most people know this is my favorite set bar none. The N172 set has intrigued me for years. I had always had a few of them for fun then I started to collect the Des Moines players only as my Father was born and raised there. Now I have taken on the never ending task of the player only set. This process has slowed down a little as I get closer to only needing the tougher cards. I only collect cards with original backs, no trimming, and the best photo quality I can find. I do have to admit that I have been getting priced out of the market as of late.

Favorite card? Whitney and Dog
Favorite player? Connie Mack (He's the only player NORMAL people know)
Favorite subset? Outdoor poses (Not really a subset but looks cool when laid out together)
Favorite teams? Des Moines, Maroons, and Brooklyn

There's so many great thing about this set for me list, this is why I collect it all!!

I do own a few tough cards:
Cushman (Toledo) 5-6 known according to Lew
McPhee
A few spotted ties
Greer Mini Photo
About 5 Maroons
and a bunch that I prefer not to mention. I'll save those for the book!!!
