Best "Big Three" from one set

[Peter_Spaeth]

I had said 28As which had an unmatchable lineup of Cobb Speaker Foxx Grove but whether they were all in one set is unlikely I guess.

[Topps206]

McGraw, Mathewson and Marquard are three for the Giants T206. I don't know much about pre-war sets minus the T206 and a small bit of Goudey.

[z28jd]

1933 Goudey has Paul Waner, Pie Traynor and Arky Vaughan. That's a great big three from one team. Of course that same team/set has Lloyd Waner, Freddie Lindstrom and Waite Hoyt, so that's a pretty good "big 4-6"

I think that the Goudey set does include Grove, Foxx, and Al Simmons.

As if your roster needed more help, don't forget Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane, and Eddie Collins.

But yes, the challenge is to place them in a single set. I know near-zero about cards of the 20s, but wow, what a lineup on paper!

The 1954 Topps trio of Aaron, Banks, and Kaline aren't bad.

That's a great all-RC team, but am going for actual teammates here.

[oldjudge]

1887 Chicago Old Judge cards include Cap Anson, King Kelly, and John Clarkson. However, Kelly had been traded to Boston before the season started.

Not exactly kosher as pre-war, but how about from the old Brooklyn Dodgers; Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. Not to mention Campy and a few others.

Bump it up to 56 and you get Koufax too. (No 55 Campanella)

50s Braves -- Aaron Mathews Spahn
60s Giants -- Mays McCovey Marichal Perry
70s Reds -- Rose Bench Morgan Perez
1984 Topps Philles (I think) Rose Morgan Schmidt Carlton

3 hall-of-famers
3 gorgeous cards
3 legendary Tigers (even batted 2-3-4 in the lineup)

[VoodooChild]

1914 and 15 CJ's have Wagner, Clarke, and Carey although Clarke was primarily just a manager at that point in his career.

I forgot Cochrane.

So the Goudey sets should include Grove, Foxx, Cochrane, and Simmons.

I don't think Collins and Speaker were on the same As teams but could be wrong.

[Peter_Spaeth]

In 37 Exhibits, or maybe it's 38, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey and Lazzeri are on one CARD.

[boneheadandrube]

Cy Young, Addie Joss, Nap Lajoie, Elmer Flick is a good one.

[Centauri]

I am a Cleveland guy, and was going to mention that group - and should add Joe Jackson - if they had made a T205
