I know I could put in the time and make a list but does anyone have a list of 1950-55 Callahans that theorectically could be signed. If so please post of send as I am overwhelmed with projects at work and don't have the time now. Thanks so much in advance

I was surprised to see just how many of these men passed away in the 1950's. Alexander passed in November of 1950, so one may not even exist, depending on when the Callahan set was issued. Good luck on this project if you are undertaking it, it seems it would be quite challenging!

thanks so much. I have a feeling alot of these may not exist- Wallace, Klem Heilman, Connolly and probably quite a few more. Have no clue where youd start. I do have quite a few but the only real sets I have done well on are 1960 and 61 Fleer, 1960 Scoops and 1948 baseballs' great
