I don't have a single Bresnahan card, which is inexcusable. Not exactly one of the greatest Cubs because he was there only three seasons, but I need to have at least one. Fatima or Cracker Jack preferably. Or that D303 (I think?) would be nice too.

This one is my favorite Hippo Vaughn card, and one of my favorite cards in my whole collection. Love the look of it.

I am really hesitant to even bring up a point/counter-point about vintage RC's, but I notice you don't seem to be on board with the 1908 E91 American Caramel Set A cards as RC's.

It's not on the same level of rarity as the 1903 Breisch-Williams cards, but is it because of rarity...or the whole "generic" thing (another back/forth argument with different sides, especially considering Set A cards)...or something else?

Speaking of rare, I love your 1933 George C Miller Lon Warneke. I spent a while looking a GCM Grimm or Warneke card at a decent price before I gave up trying to find a reasonably priced one.

Don't hesitate at all, it's my favorite thing to talk about lol. I don't have a big problem with considering E91s to be rookie cards. But one of the criteria I consider is the size of the set. I think a set should be league-comprehensive for it to qualify. It's the same reason I leave out 1933 DeLong. The E91 sets are only 33 players each. Some consider sets A B and C to be one big set but they're not checklisted that way. That is some super arbitrary, nit-picky pedantry, but I am a baseball card collector after all.

Yeah that GCM Warneke wasn't cheap but I wanted to have at least one in my collection. It's a great-looking set.

Totally get that. I was just wondering your thinking on the matter.

Just realized I never introduced my collection website on Net54. LOTS of scanning and I'm finally mostly done. Use the dropdowns on the left to view the different collections or filter by player/set/etc.
