Cards That Should Have Been

I have often wondered why there is not a Cracker Jack Jim Thorpe. He did not have a lot of at bats in 1913 or 1914, but he was still a huge name at that point and would have made sense to be in the 1915 set at the very least.

1933 Goudey: both Ruth & Gehrig
1934 Goudey: Gehrig only
1935 Goudey 4-in-1: Ruth (Braves) only

While I understand 1934 Goudey's more of an "update" to 33G, featuring primarily new players after the first series, I'd enjoy either of these:

1934 Goudey Ruth
Goudey 4-in-1 with both Babe and Lou in pinstripes

I don't think that they added players from 1914 to 1915, they just used the same ones. But I'm no expert on CJs

The set expanded from 144 players to 176 players for the 1915 cards. The mention of "176 pictures" on the back of each 1915 card is one of the easiest ways of determining if a card is a '14 Cracker Jack or a '15.

Eddie, thanks for explaining that. I never knew that CJ added players. I thought that Pratt and Mathewson were the only changes (besides the backs being flipped).

No problem.
