Biggest omissions in card issues
 

Posted By: <b>Scott(runscott)</b><p>Any ideas on why certain players were left out of pre-WWI sets? The question of Connie Mack's absence from the t206 set has come up in the past and will probably remain a mystery, but there are others: Christy Mathewson appeared in almost all the caramel sets, but Walter Johnson seemed to be mostly tobacco. <BR><BR>What are the biggest omissions?

Posted By: <b>Mike Williams</b><p>Walter Johnson was omitted from some of the "E" card designations like E90-1, E92, E93, E94, E95, E96, E97, E98, E101, E103 etc.....seems odd. The missing '34 Goudey Ruth also seems strange.

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>For me, the biggest mystery is why there is no Adolfo Luque in the 1923/24 Billiken set. Any ideas?<BR><BR>-Ryan
