Yet another newbie on the board - with a remedial question

[Jim VB]

Phil is being far too modest here and has neglected to mention that database was his work.

Paul- welcome to the board.

What college did you and your wife attend, and what major league players do you know of that played there?

[Matt]

Rich - welcome to the forum!

Another great resource for player checklists is www.vintagecardprices.com. Using and searching their checklists is free.

(Sorry for the eyesore)

There are a handful of players that I simply dont believe any cards exist. For example, Bernie Henderson played at A&M back in the early part of the century and played at the MLB-level only in 1921. Over all, there's about 14 of the college players I think are non-existent.....but I always keep my eyes peeled.

[barrysloate]

That's an enormous list Rich, which should keep you busy for awhile.

[Section103]

Nah, Im 99 for 99 out of the known available players. I think Leon said on another thread that "this is a marathon, not a sprint". Whoops. Still, Im continually upgrading and adding with as many examples from my favorite sets as possible.

[barrysloate]

That's impressive!
