All time baseball card team - what would yours be?

[hcv123]

No right or wrong here. Not even anything to debate. Just another angle on sharing personal preference of card collecting - can be, but doesn't have to be cards you own. Overlap, no overlap -doesn't matter -what are/ would be your picks?

Maybe these with Ted as DH.

These, for me, were ones that I thought, artistically, just....wow! Not necessarily the best player or the most expensive card, just cards that have really caught my eye over the years. (I shall own that e95 Cobb someday!)

That's a good team but no Sam Crawford or Harry Heilmann?

Bobby Veach was in the conversation too. Toyed with putting Heilmann in RF, but I think Kaline was the better all-around player. Crawford and Heilmann probabaly both had better overall careers than Horton though, but they played right while Horty played left. And I was sticking to position, but if I just picked 3 OFs without regard, it'd be Cobb, Kaline, Heilmann.
