Which vintage players do you feel got a bad deal from the lack of cards made?

Off the top of my head, my votes go to SJ Jackson, Harry Heilmann, Walter Johnson, and Ross Youngs.

Definitely Walter Johnson. It's a sin there are no caramels of him, except for the E91 and Cracker Jacks

Tris Speaker seems underrepresented compared to other players of that era and stature.

Some 1920's or 30's Satchel Paige cards would have been nice.

Yes, he was in a Cle uniform in the 1913 National game set.

Lou Sockalexis and Jim Thorpe. Also Ken Williams and Benny Kauff. Wish there were more Federal League cards too.

Your correct Jay,he is also pictured with Cleveland on his 1913 H813 Boston Garter, his 1911 T5, his B18 Felt blanket, and his 1913 Colgans Tin Top.
Edited to ad his Cracker Jack which shows him in a Cleveland uniform.

I wish there were more (and in some cases just one) of George Cuppy, Gene DeMontreville, Emerson Hawley, Charley Jones, Candy LaChance, Bill Lange, Jake Stenzel, Jack Stivetts and Will White

...there were more cards of Hal Chase in the T206 set -- 5 doesn't seem like nearly enough. How about Chase Bat On, Chase Glove On, and Chase Green Portrait?

But, seriously, there should have been a T206 card of Joe Jackson, Connie Mack, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Smokey Joe Wood.

Hall-of Famer JESSIE BURKETT (.341 lifetime BA), who
started his career just after the major 19th Century
sets were issued and ended his career just before the
major T-card issues. But, he is portrayed on the neat
T204 Ramly set,

BILL DAHLEN, who should be in the HOF (2500 hits) and
is mainly featured in the T206 set (Boston & Brooklyn).

Heilmann had the same problem but came on to late for the "T" sets and retired before Goudeys and the like came along. I think his career .342 average is worth more than a bunch of Exhibits, a few caramels, a handful of strip cards, and a couple of extremely tough Zeenuts.

As far as Chase goes, nothing beats the "butt out" pose.

I think there are more Jackson cards with him in a Cleveland uniform than the White Sox uniform.

Joe Jax is in the Fatima series in a Cleveland uniform.
I wish there were more cards of Risberg, Felsch, Williams and McMullen.

1. Colgans

He is not on the regular Colgan's issue, he is only seen on Colgans Tin Tops, E270-2 issued in 1912. I believe this is a known cataloging error.
