These are the two that I currently own. I have found you can't be too picky about finding them without writing as they are usually found used (as intended).

Here's the gallery from old cardboard--the set was featured there recently.

You gotta think an Eddie Collins had to have been produced, which (if found) would represent each position and the Manager (Mack).

Edited to add: I obviously missed the Collins being found, which I had always suspected. This probably constitutes a whole set, but they could always include another pitcher...

There is an article on these in the latest Old Cardboard by Bill Cornell that pictures the Collins. Issue #21, pp 18-19, here is the scan of the Collins.

Had 9 "blotters" total. Let's get the full count and add that to our listings and we can archive this set as well. This was a set I really enjoyed adding to the Beckett DB when I first heard about them back in the day. I think I even wrote a "mini-feature" of approximately three paragraphs on this set for the Baseball monthly.
