Default Pre - WW II Rookie Cards of every MLB Player

Ok, so the above might be an impossible task............How about starting the process by including every MLB player eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame (whether enshrined or not) based on years of service, meaning those players who participated in a minimum of 10 Major League seasons.

I am looking for a few individuals that would be willing to put in the time doing extensive research in an effort to identify Rookie Cards for every Pre - WW II player that meets the above criteria. This is definitely a long-term project and my ultimate goal is that future baseball card catalogues will recognize and identify these cards within the respective Pre - WW II sets as Rookie Cards as they currently do for Post - WW II sets.

Something like this has been attempted for Hall of Famers only but, as we all know, there are many other quality Pre - WW II players to collect besides Hall of Famers. For anyone who may be interested, please PM me so that we can discuss in more detail.
