Nice catch(er). I actually had Bresnahan as my catcher, but then inexplicably decided to give Wallace a shot at the position, perhaps because I thought he had a face that would look good behind a catcher's mask.

Brian—Cobb was not in the M101-5 set but he was in the M101-4. My M101-4 team is:

C-Schalk
1B-Sisler
2B-Collins
SS-Wagner
3B-Lajoie (he played a little third)
OF-Jackson
OF-Cobb
OF-Ruth
P1-Johnson
P2-Alexander

Manager-McGraw

I’d feel comfortable going to battle with this team against any of the others mentioned. The Collins McCarthy type sets of 1917 might even be slightly better, losing Lajoie but gaining Hornsby. With that group I would play Hornsby at second and Collins at third.

Another nice catch...I am adjusting post by making my set to be M101-4, and also changing out Schalk for Bresnahan, because Bresnahan is not in the M101-4 set.

Jump over to Leaf and you can substitute Williams, Musial and DiMaggio.

I guess I was also looking at it like you'd have the set. I prefer the Bowmans over the Leaf on average, though I've always thought that Ted Williams Leaf card is one of the nicest of all cards.

49B has an awful lot of HOF RCs. Off my head, Ashburn, Campanella, Kell, Snider, Hodges, Lemon,, Wynn, Roberts

Cheating a bit but the 1972 Kellogg All Time Greats Set. Soft spot in my heart since this was the set that inspired a 10 year olds fascination with pre-war.

Good point here about Lajoie playing third base. I hadn't considered that angle, but it only strengthens my '33 Goudey selections because I can substitute Jimmy Foxx for Bill Dickey at catcher. So my lineup now looks like this:

1B Gehrig
2B Hornsby
SS Vaughn
3B Traynor
C Foxx
RF Ruth
CF Speaker
LF Ott
LP Grove
RP Dean
