Collecting every team

[FrankWakefield]

If you differentiate teams by the leagues, names, and classification... there probablly aren't many cards of anyone from the Stockton team in the California League, the first of such named leagues. That team had three seasons, 1888, 1889, and 1890.

But you guys may well have dozens of them. I've been wanting an SF Hess card for a long time. Finally got one.

I think this is the kind of question that can truly be understood by attempting to collect over a long period of time. Its kind of like (but even more complicated) trying to complete a set of a famous ball player with an extensive list of cards. You start out knowing the basics by collecting the known, conventional wisdom, but as you go through it, you find out more and more that is virtually unknown leading you to deeper rabbit holes. It is one hell of an interesting attempt that surely would be tremendously rewarding to a collector.
