Hank, as best as I have been able to determine, no contemporaneous cards were issued for the following players (with the number of games in which each appeared for the 1924 Senators in parenthesis):
- Carl East (2 games).
- George "Showboat" Fisher (15 games).
- Harold "Chick" Gagnon (4 games).
- Bert "Buck" Griffith (Matt Williams' grandfather) (6 games).
- Carr Smith (5 games).
- Tommy Taylor (26 games).
And, not that you asked, I believe only one contemporaneous card was issued for each of the following players:
- Wade Lefler (5 games) - 1921 Baltimore Orioles White's Tip Top Bread (don't have).
- Walter "Slim" McGrew (6 games) - 1924 Diaz Cigarettes (see below).
- Ralph Miller (9 games) - 1925 Holland Creameries (see below).
- Ernest "Mule" Shirley (30 games) - 1925 Holland Creameries (see below).
This has been very much a challenging and fun collecting endeavor.
