Default IT GOT ME THINKING- Pre-1920 Eight Men Out subset

Posted By: BlackSoxFan

Well thanks for the shout out guys!!! I myself am fascinated by the scandal. Only one set exists that has all eight players (a 1917 Davis Printing set). Unfortunately, there is only one copy of each card. As others mentioned, the w514 set offers a reasonably affordable way to obtain everyone sans McMullin. You can certainly obtain cards of the seven other players without breaking the bank. Jackson is the only one who carries a true premium; however, cards of the other players tend to fall in the "hall of famer" category (with regards to price). I was interviewed for an article that came out in SCD some time ago (http://blog.blacksoxfan.com/hobbycollecting-news/im-in-the-news/) But as you will see the article has been removed. I'll see if I can dig up a copy of it for you. I haven't posted anything to the blog in quite some time, but perhaps this will give me a kick to start writing again.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Regards,

Black Sox Fan
