Most of your examples for important are cards are based on our perspective. There was set of P&S cards you could get, not just the Red Stockings. The Lajoie only stands out because it is part of the most popular 30s set. Short printing a card was nothing new at that point. It was common practice. I doubt changing the picture of Matty was done to get more people to buy CJ to get the card, otherwise they would have revamped the whole set if that were the intent. I doubt seriously the t205 Joss had any impact on collectors when it was issued. The Tinkers/Evers/Chance is good marketing, not neccessarily important. If it was, you have seen other sets following suit with similar type cards. You have to look to the strip cards of the 20s to find multi-player card of the Waner brothers and then until the 30s again before multi-player cards start showing up on a regular basis.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.
