And while we are at it, that Radbourne filler was just a bit too bad for my bid. And yes, he is of interest because he won the most games in a season; but his card to me represents one of the 1884 season which I am commemorating.

In review, that season included both the White Stockings setting the team HR record which was eventually surpassed by the 1927 Yankees, and it included the greatest number (by far) of pitchers with 40+ wins in a season. As well as some other stuff.

So my assembly of cards for this season is including some interesting and difficult to locate (and afford) material. By necessity, various card manufacturers and types are included.

I do not imagine that I will ever complete the assembly of cards commemorating this year. But I am having fun. Look at the year, the cards, when you are inclined.
