Joe: I agree on the 22 player total (20 regular season, 1 manager and 1 in the World Series).I've also done extensive research on the Detroit Wolverine team and the 1887 team . Stu Sutcliffe played in the World Series and not the regular season. That was very interesting, but many things were different in the 19th Century.

I agree with the cost of collecting Detroit cards because of the Hall of Fame status of Brouthers, Thompson and Hanlon. Hanlon use to be much cheaper until he entered the Hall.

When you read about the Detroit team it is hard to believe Charlie Bennett hasn't received more support for Hall of Fame status. Catching in the 19th Century wasn't easy and he was regarded by many as the 2nd best catcher behind Buck Ewing. Bennett Field was named after him.
