Help with player set database

Done to one set left to figure out. ACC designation is d380, comprised mostly of minor leaguers, but I forge thte name of the bakery that issued it, so not sure if it int he SCD big book. Once I figure out which players made the majors my database should be complete.

This database is comprehensive in that it does not list every card that every player appeared on. I generally only listed the most common sets that a player appeared in. Players such as Ruth, Cobb, etc I listed one or 2 sets since there is no shortage of cards avaiable from those players.

for those not familiar with my project, I want to collect one card of every player that appeared on a card between 1908 and 1945. Cards with multiple players are not of interest, so they are not in my database, same for pins, large size cards (i.e larger than a post card) and anything else I felt was not a 'card'.

The total number of different players with cards currently stands at 2299, 899 of which appear on only one card.

I also am curious as to hard hard cards from the following sets are to locate:

Father & Son Shoes
Tarzan Bread
Star Player
Koester Bread

The D380's were Clement Brothers Bakery (square photo version) and the D380-1 were the oval photo version, I believe.....good luck !!

a nice size lot was just sold to a dealer at Ft. Washington (including a very nice Cobb) so I'd expect to see these at an auction near you real soon!

did some bad math last night. There 2301 different players on cards from the span I am interested in. 880 appear on only one card.

As for the D380 Clemente Brothers Bakery issue, the SCD big does not list them, so if someone has a checklist, I would greatly appreciate getting it.

I am also curious as to how hard Voskamp Pirates cards are to locate.

Clements are listed in the minor league section of the SCD.

Voskamps are pretty obscure. Mike Wheat sold a small group of them about two years ago. Since then I've only seen one offered (in the Collectible Classics Auction).

A Tarzan "common" sold for over 1K in the last Lipset auction. I've seen less Tarzan cards than any other on your list.

Thanks for the info. Guess the old Tarzans are gonna be a long time in waiting to fill the set. 3 players make their only appearance on Tarzan cards.

Didn't realize there was a minor league section in that book. Looks like a bumch more work in front of me.
