Collecting every team

[jjbond]

Just saw this thread, and it got me thinking - *WERE* there cards of the 1913 Federal League teams? (when they were a minor league). So, the Green Sox, Colonels/Blue Sox/Packers, Filipinos, Keeleys, Hoosiers, Terriers. Had never thought that that could be a possibility......

There could maybe be a case where only one card for a particular Federal League team was ever issued among these different sets. That would certainly seem to make that team's card a possible candidate to answer the OP's question.

Indianapolis Hoosiers....1913–14.....Moved to Newark in 1915
Kansas City Packers......1913–15.....Had been in Covington until mid-season 1913

Pittsburgh Rebels.........1913–15.....Known as the Filipinos in 1913, and initially as the Stogies in 1914
St. Louis Terriers....... ..1913–15

After coming across some more info regarding Federal League teams on baseball cards, from SABR's site, looks like one of the Federal League teams may not be the answer to the OP's question after all. The article also mentions heretofore unnamed other sets that Federal League team players were included in.
