Show your all time PreWW2 card ultimate lineup

[brianp-beme]

Being a fellow who likes to stay strictly on topic, I thought I would spin this ultimate lineup idea even further by starting a "Show your all time PreWW2 card lineup".

The rules are that you have to own (or use to own) each card you show, and those cards need to have been issued before 1942. For relief pitcher feel free to be creative...plenty of great starting pitchers of the era put in some relief time as well. I went with Doc Crandall, the first pitcher to be consistently used in relief.

1B Lou Gehrig - 1933 Goudey
2B Rogers Hornsby - W503
SS Honus Wagner - W-Unc Orange Border
3B Pie Traynor - 1935 Goudey
C Mickey Cochrane - Diamond Stars
OF Babe Ruth - W551
OF Ty Cobb - T206
OF Tris Speaker - W572
SP Christy Mathewson - D304
SP Lefty Grove - Tattoo Orbit
RP Doc Crandall - T205
MGR John McGraw - W-UNC

Nice entries so far. I especially like the idea of just one set to come up with the best lineup. I think that idea would be a great thread by itself as well.

Not only is this thread fantastic...it's EXPENSIVE!!! Lol
Some of you guys have collections that look like auction catalogs.
Congratulations to you all.

Side note, Traynor is an underrated player.
