I collect Canadian-great George Gibson. There is a link to my collection in my signature line. I have just shy of 80 *total* cards. If you don't count different backs, reprints and modern art cards, I have maybe 35-40 different cards. I own only two prewar "non-Gibson" cards.
There are at least 4 others on the board that collect him I'm aware of, whether it's as part of a player collection or a 1909-era Pirates collection.
I first became aware of Gibson after a trip to the Canadian baseball Hall of Fame, but what really put me on the path of learning about him and collecting his cards was reading his chapter in Lawrence Ritter's The Glory of their Times.
Cheers,
Richard.
