I have a Sweet Caporal pin somewhere, and a few more white border cards that have been gathered since this was taken.

And Ted, I'll dig out the box that has the answer to your American Beauty question in a day or so...

I have several players sets going, but are furthest along on my Abe Attell (boxing) set. Also I have a large number of Ray Schalk cards, but I haven't sat down and made a list of what I need. Seeing as he is in all those 1917 and early 20s sets there are plenty of back variations I don't have but as others have mentioned he has a few differnt images and his cards are pretty available.

I do agree that once you get to the last few cards finding one you don't have is a really good feeling, winning the card is a better feeling and putting it with all it's friends, well that is priceless :-)
