Which Player/s have eluded your collection

Which player or players cards have eluded you over the years. Being mainly a hof collector. Hornsby, Sisler & Alexander are notables missing from my collection. Hofers that did not have a T206 card is what these 3 have in common, must be a contributing factor as I concentrated on T206 hofers for the longest. I need to concentrate more on later issues I guess. Here's one that I added that makes me smile.

Big notables for me - Cobb, Shoeless Joe and Babe Ruth. In fact, Ruth is the only one of these I "need" for my collection...but some pretty tough early cards of him with the Red Sox is what I'll be looking for.

A Jackson card has eluted me. It's high on my want list but either of the two I'd like to own are pretty pricey (E90-1 and the M101-4 or 5). I would prefer the E90, but the M101 is more realistic.

Oddly enough i've never owned a Gehrig or Dimaggio. Hard to believe.
You know right after typing this I'm gonna go straight to Ebay looking

I have a nice 1940 PB DiMaggio if you don't mind a slightly trimmed card

Hi Jay. Thanks for the offer. I think if I grab one though it would be his 41 PB issue card.
Has a bit more color pop to it. The 40 PB is a classic though. Which Player/s have eluded your collection 182900

I think I've owned the majority of deadball-era HOFers at one time or another, but there are plenty of 19th century HOFers that have eluded me. A few off the top of my head:

McPhee (big surprise)
Burkett (ditto)
Wilbert Robinson
Hamilton
Clarkson
