Incredible information. Thank you for sharing. So these are all technically 1917 Felix Mendelsohns (insert back name here)? What should the technical classification/set designation name be? Should it still be E135/D328/D350-2/H801-8?

Also, what is the set designation name for the Merchant's Bakery, if there is one?

Yes, they are all technically Felix Mendelsohn cards, but I would probably leave the designations alone. Maybe change the blank backs to an "M", since he was a publisher generally and it is his initial I think M132 may be available. M-Unc is probably confusing, as more than one set could make claim to that (my Schalk card above, for example).

Merchants Bakery does not have a designation in the ACC.

I am happy to have this 1970s Jim Rowe PC of Grover Hartley for my Cleveland Baseball collection, but still looking for a career-contemporary card of him from his playing days with Cleveland (1929-30). Know of anything?

That is very cool! I am not aware of any Grover Hartley cards after the aforementioned 1917 sets. Both Trading Card Database and PSA show the 1917 sets as his last cards. I'm sure there are photos out there, but I don't believe there were any team issued photo sets, so it would all be individualized if you find anything.
