I have an alphabetical master list of all the prewar (pre-WW2) players that I own. The list has about 1940 different players on it, including minor leaguers in Obaks and so on.

Eddie Collins tops my list-- in 19 sets
18 -- Charlie Gehringer and Paul Waner
17-- Al Simmons, Arky Vaughan, Larry Doyle, Jimmie Wilson


For players who retired before 1920, it's
17 Doyle
16 Frank Chance and George Gibson.
14 Sherry Magee and Red Dooin
13 Chief Bender, Tommy Leach, Red Murray

Obviously this is not complete in any way-- I need lots of Cobbs, Ruths, Mathewsons, etc. Bur maybe kind of interesting nonetheless--
