Charlie Bennett, catcher, Detroit, National League
The whole concept of Detroit having a team in the National League seemed so weird when I was 12. Bennett Park, named after Charlie, of course eventually became Tiger Stadium. How could a player have a stadium named after him and not be in the Hall of Fame?! Charlie and his wife supposedly invented the chest protector, and poor Charlie lost his legs in a train accident which ended his career. He, along with fellow Detroit Wolverine Sam Thompson, used to team up to throw out the first pitch of the season well into the 1920's. I find the history of that team, and that era, fascinating. I only have one card of his though. I'd love an Old Judge some day.

Royal "Roy" Castleton, the first LDS/Mormon Major Leaguer and pitched a perfect game in the Minor Leagues for Youngstown, Ohio. Played for the Reds and Yankees.
    He is back row far left:  I have all of his mainstream issues (not all pictured here), I need to find a Western Playground to complete the run.

Harry Sutor. I randomly bought this 1911 Gilmartin and an E100 of Sutor when I first started collecting and figured, "Well I have to have his toughest cards, may as well get 'em all." Boy, was I ever wrong. His T4 Obak sits on e-bay at $3000 toying with me for the last few years, but I just can't pay that. And his E100 type 2, well, Leon sold his to someone besides me, as well as his E221 Bishop SF. And his T5 Pinkerton? I haven't seen one with the mount, and only saw one on e-bay about a week after it sold. Then there is the Western Playground. So no, I have some tough ones, but not nearly his toughest (though I've not seen another Gilmartin no idea the total number of each of these).

Ed,
I have never seen another example of the Castleton but have seen 3-4 examples of Harry "Dick" Bayless. It may have been a 2 person set, one picher and one position player but others on the team may have been issued and just haven't been seen yet. It is an oversized postcard, a bit of an unusual size so that may limit the numbers that survived.
