I joined Net54 in January 2010, but this is my first post. I've always been a lurker, but I decided I needed to start posting.
I started a new project. I decided to make a team of what I consider the All-Time great Reds players Pre-WWII. I used 1942 as the cut off date. Players could have played after 1942, but they had to have began their career prior to 1942.
After coming up with my team, I am now going to try to get a card of each players in a Reds uniform. It's going to be tough, but I am looking forward to the challenge. I have only picked up 2 cards so far, but hopefully I'll be able to add to my collection slowly but surely.
I have a very, very tight budget, which will make this an ever more daunting task.
I didn't mean to ramble on, but that's me and my new focus in a nutshell.
Thanks,
Joe

Are you including all Reds teams, going back to 1869? That might be pricey. But if you start in 1901 and you aren't too worried about them wearing a Reds uniform on the card, you could populate most of the all star team via fairly accessible sets like the t206's, E121's, and the Goudeys.
