If you are in an all 1885 league then I agree, that would be pretty impossible. However, my current open league team consists of Detroit Tigers ranging from Ed Siever (1902) to Doug Fister (2011). I have cards of everybody although I had to settle for a PSA 10 'Play Ball' Roy Cullenbine card from 1976 (it was from a "what if Play Ball made cards in 1942" set). Roy had a nice career but had only one vintage card that I know about. It was when he was with the St. Louis Browns and I guess it's pretty rare because I haven't seen one for sale.

My next team will probably have most of the same players with a few tweaks. Now that I have an Old Judge Toad Ramsey, I'll use his nice 1885 season without the "I don't have his card" blues.
