Speaking by experience, it's going to be
difficult. I began my sub-set in 1988,
just after Eight Men Out the movie was
released. Finding the more common guys
like Cicotte, Gandil and even Jackson
will cost you some, but are obatinable.
Others like Felsch, Risberg and Williams
are a bit more difficult. The key to the
set is McMullin. It took me ten years
to find the elusive Zeenut McMullin card
which I discovered on auction - by chance!
A handful of McMullin cards have been
auctioned only a few times in the last ten
years and will deffinately cost you. I
understand there are only a handful of
Black Sox collectors have been able to put
this sub-set together.
Best of luck working on this set. It's a
wonderful and historic sub-set that still
carries with it a sense of mystery and aura.
