those are amazing Keith.

These teammates wish Peckinpaugh was with them!

I agree. It's just "meh" without Peckinpaugh.
But seriously, that is an amazingly tough accomplishment there. Of the ones you did acquire, which was the hardest to get? Any other stories about cards you passed on, only to get a second chance at? Any you passed at a price, only to pay higher later? Set collectors usually have the best stories.

Chris - Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't remember the last one I acquired or the hardest one to get. My memory is pathetic, and I have had these cards for several years. I'm pretty sure the last one was a common, perhaps Miller. Nor can I recall any good stories to tell about acquiring them (maybe there aren't any) - sorry. Actually, I'm not a set collector, except for a couple of exceptions like this. This set is meaningful to me because I have lived in the DC area all of my life and rooted for Washington ever since I was a kid in the 1950s. And, I think it is neat that a set was made that is comprised solely of the players who achieved Washington's only World Series triumph.

Val, what's your best/favorite/toughest Walter Johnson card?

Jeff, those two are awesome, I would love to own a Lincoln Plank someday. I didn't think the Legendary Lot had any HOFers beyond Mack and Bender - did you own that pair beforehand?

yep - so now I have 14 of the 20 - all from the same original collection with the writing on front and identical postal name/address on back.

Plank / Waddell / Mack / Bender are the only 4 HOFers in the set so just need to find those 6 commons now.

Jeff those are just gorgeous!!!

You'll have to show them all together once the "new 12" arrive! Awesome pick up. I love that they all have the same period writing.

Am I the only one intimidated by Eddie Plank's gaze?

wow Jeff, those are nice!
They are dressed tr the nines, Those collars in those days look awful stiff.

Plank has that Andy Pettite look, the eyes of a goat.

Quan-you are right but here is my Red Cross contribution-no teammate though,maybe soon

I still owe you lunch or dinner when we hook up.

Damn, Jim. What a show off.

Can we dare you again to come up with 3 teammates with tough backs? (other than Baltimore or are you holding out on them?)

Lee

Holding out...

It was great hooking up at the National and hope we can again at Chicago-I will have more time to hang out when I am out of town.

thanks Jamie

Fantastic cards, Jim!
