Bob, while we are here and we are talking about Detroit Tigers issues there is another set that needs some serious cleaning up. I am 100% convinced the 1939 Michigan Sportservice set doesn't have as many cards in it as your checklist would indicate. I keep seeing the same players over and over again while I have never spoken to anyone that can confirm the existence of many of the others (notably the Greenberg and Newhouser)...
Confirmed to exist:
Beau Bell
Tommy Bridges
Pinky Higgins
Red Kress
Buck Newsom
Birdie Tebbetts
Not confirmed to exist:
Earl Averill
Dick Bartell
Al Benton
Frank Croucher
Pete Fox
Charlie Gehringer
Hank Greenberg
John Gorsica
Fred Hutchinson
Barney McCoskey
Archie McCain
Hal Newhouser
Schoolboy Rowe
Dizzy Trout
Rudy York
