It really bothers me that so many of these 19th century street clothes poses end up being identified as major league ballplayers, and more often than not HOFers. If I were a beginning collector, I would stay away from all of them except the most obvious ones, such as the street clothes pose of Anson from the Old Judge set. That's a no brainer. But not every 19th century caucasian male with a thick mustache is in the baseball HOF. In fact, 99.9 % of them are not.
