Have you ever?

Have you ever decided to collect a player, only to search for his stuff and find out there really isn't much good/interesting out there. Happened twice to me in the last couple days. One was Rip Sewell, I was shocked how little there is out there for him, especially just in a Pirates uniform.

So after looking at Sewell, I said how about another great pitcher for the Pirates, Ray Kremer. Having nothing on Kremer yet, I checked ebay and found just three possibilities, two with the same exact pose(33 Goudey and Butter Cream).

I'll eventually pick up something of each, but it happened again today with another Pirates pitcher, Bill Swift. Not the pitcher from mid-80's,90's, the other one. I posted his bio in a couple places today because the Pirates traded for him on this date 81 years ago http://blogs.piratesprospects.com/hi...er-bill-swift/

So I just checked for Swift and there is almost nothing of interest for him either! I'll probably pick up the 36 Goudey Wide Pen, because the other three choices are all portrait shots, which I'm not big on.

So then another pitcher popped in my head, Mace Brown. He is the worst of the group, 40 playball and a 36 R312 Pastel

Basically, that makes me 0-for-4 in looking for an affordable but interesting player to collect these last couple days.
