This is a wonderful set, in conjunction with the National Copper Plate series, for collecting HOF rookies as it represents the earliest nationally distributed paper issue for numerous HOF'ers in addition to Honus:
Jack Chesbro
Hugh Jennings
Nap Lajoie
Fred Clarke
Joe Kelley **
Jimmy Collins **
John McGraw **
Willie Keeler **
Frank Chance
Elmer Flick **
Joe McGinnity
Rube Waddell
Bobby Wallace **
Vic Willis **
Cy Young
** Also appears in the 1898-99 National Copper Plate series

The first time I heard of them, I heard that Nap Lajoie fella was in the M101-1 set as an 1899 issue. I nearly fell out of my chair. I had no idea such a stud from the T206 set had a 19th century rookie. You can imagine my shock when I found the Wagner for the first time
