Ok, maybe I think about this stuff too much, but I really don't understand it all yet.

I did not know, for example, that a type card collector would prefer a HOFer over a high quality card example for his type card set. Ok, so it is not really a pseudo type card set, but more a collection with dual or multiple objectives - I have that. |

PCL (Pacific Coast League) collectors love these sets. I am not an expert on the PCL, still leaning every day. Besides the obvious super stars like the DiMaggio brother, O'Doul, Waner, etc., there are a lot of interesting players who played in the PCL. Some are Crosetti, Gregg, Hitt, Holder, Rapp, Ryan, Strand, Frederick, Jacobs, etc. Every player I just listed in in the PCL Hall of Fame, and for good reason, they had great careers in the PCL, with some amazing stats and accomplishments. |

I like a lot of them purely for their asthetic appeal......They really are little pieces of art and many are fascinating....I know this is old news but can you ever see cards like this too often ? I know many other board members have some too.....let's show ole Gil some of them.... |

What Frank and Leon said pretty much goes for me as well. I enjoy the looks of the cards and I enjoy the history behind them. I also like working on sets, or even subsets. In the case of the Lathrop, I purchased it soley on I really enjoy T209-2s and the picture which I also really enjoyed. I haven't even tried to look him up yet, though I probably will later tonight. Many of the PCL issues are some of my favorite issues of all time. You won't be finding floating heads in in front of a blue background in any set that shows major leaguers. And how about the N321 set, 40 cards in total and all are from the California League. I think this set is one of the most colorful of it's time and rivals the N162 set. |

I just finished my biography of Ed Delahanty and, one of the ironies of the book is that people complained then about ball players in the EXACT same way we do today. They make too much money, they're mercenaries, they only care about their individual stats, etc etc. And this was 1896! You should read some of the columns sports writers wrote about Delahanty. You close your eyes after reading one and you see Gary Sheffield. |

Here's my N321, I agree one of the most beautiful sets ever produced.

Thank you, Gentlemen. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised at the response nor the obvious passion expressed. However, the message "Gil, you haven't done your homework, again" is both true and unreasonable imho. |

Geez, Obaks are BEAUTIFUL, and I know nothing about any of the players. I can't think of two better reasons to start collecting them! |

And the links. They gave me great insight into the PCL. It is a great compliment to my focus on the Negro Leagues. Things were quite different. And I think that things stayed quite different way beyond what the common perception is. But I don't know that yet. |
