I know this is a bizarre question, so let me explain...
In the pre-war hockey card world, there is an interesting twist because some Hall-of-Fame hockey players also played professional lacrosse. These players have both hockey cards and lacrosse cards that were printed around the same time. The lacrosse cards are typically portraits with the players wearing sweaters from their lacrosse squads. Generally, although the lacrosse cards appear to be much rarer (maybe 5-10x rarer), the hockey card of the Hall-of-Famer usually sells for a higher price. Interestingly, it is not as though the hockey cards portray the timeless jerseys of the teams we still love...pretty much none of them look anything like curent uniforms anyway. This got me thinking, if Ty Cobb or Matty or other baseball HOFs appeared on scarce early 1900s portrait tobacco cards as (let's say) tennis players: (a) would you want those cards at all, and (b) if so, would you pay more or less than a T-206 for such a card in equal grade? Cheers, Blair
