Default favorite prewar players to collect?

Posted By: ty_cobb

I like all the 'rebels' who played West Coast ball,
Chick Gandil (have the T206 Red Hindu and a NM T213)
and Hal Chase (have a T206 Lennox back w. Trophy).
Bev on the old forum got me into the Cubbies, she
sent me this huge scan of a baseball theme stained
glass window she had from (I think) Johnny Kling's
Billiards Hall. I used to have some of the Cubbies contracts and other letters from management, especially regarding the contract holdout (circa 1909 I believe).
Some of the Cubbies played interleague, I like
Johnny Kling, Joe Tinker, and Johnny Evers. Kling was
especially sucessful in establishing America's first
integrated ballpark (KC Monarchs I beleive).
