Good luck with Rusie, most of them present very light images.

A few things:

a) It could be pretty tough to come by every pose (even the known ones) for each player. So you might want to consider collecting just one pose for each player. That's a lot more affordable and achievable.

b) You are lucky you are not collecting 88's. It has this manager card called McGreachery which is rather tough to come by.

c) If you do choose to chase every pose, you can go through past auction results on cardtarget.com and VCP if you haven't already.

Ted,

You're lucky Larry Corcoran isn't part of your want list...

Here is a list I have for Indy (each year). The 75kb limit for pictures will no doubt make the chart hard to read. I can send you a copy in Excel if you'd like. 1889 is not a tough year to collect and you could obtain all poses if you are persistent, patient, and willing to dig deep when necessary (for Rusie). As Jamie stated, it might be nice to first go after one pose of each player and then decide if you want to complete all poses.

Then again, you could take my approach to Detroit, ie all poses, all years, N172, N173, & N175

Great list, Joe.

Just to elaborate on my previous point, one of the reasons it is so expensive to get every pose, is that, you not only have to purchase every card instead of just one card per player, which itself is 3-5 times more expensive, but the other thing is that, as you get deeper into the project, you become more and more desperate, and continue to bid higher and higher for each card. So I think you are probably looking at at least 5x more expensive to go after every pose instead of just one pose per player.
