Collecting Black Sox

I have some examples on my site that'll give you an idea of what's out there. A number of board members have much nicer sets than i do. Also you can find a "fairly" comprehensive list on 1919blacksox.com, although there are some errors - jackson colgan doesn't exist for example. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

EDITED TO ADD:
McMullin is going to be EXTREMELY difficult. He really has only one major card issue. Risberg has the second fewest... here would be the list in order of difficulty (ie..availability of his cards ... not value).

1. McMullin
2. Risberg
3a. Williams (a smidge more difficult than felsch)
3b. Felsch
5. Weaver
6. Joe
7/8. Gandil & Cicotte (pronounced See-Cot)

Because of the w514's ... they are all fairly obtainable (except McMullin as he is not in that set). That set aside, this is something you can easily do in a handful of months. Just depends on how picky you are and how much you want to spend.
