Sets of the California Winter Leagues, the Western Canadian Provincial Leagues, and the pre-integration Mexican leagues would be a fantasy come true. Any league that had the top tier Negro League players. Shoot, it's too bad there weren't any tobacco issues of Negro league stars with their American teams. How about a Bingo DeMoss or a Bruce Petway or a Smokey Joe Williams T issue. I'm going to make myself cry. In more realistic terms, I wish Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial, etc. had been pictured in the '51 Topps sets just so there'd be an affordable way to collect a complete set that included those guys. And why didn't Goudey issue a parallel numbered refractor series!
