Some of these players are exceedingly scarce, but you gotta dream, right?
Here is the list:

Bill Hawke
Elton Chamberlain
Ed Stein
Jay Hughes
Red Donahue
Walter Thornton
Chick (Chic) Fraser
Weldon Henley
Jake Weimer
Stoney McGlynn
Ed Karger
Johnny Lush
Rube Vickers
Leonard (King) Cole
Thomas L. Hughes AKA Salida Tom Hughes (Highlanders)
Carl Cashion
Frank Allen
Claude Hendrix
Arthur (Davie) Davenport

Please let me know if you can provide a lead to any of them.
Thanks!

Well, thanks to Jim Stinson, Chic Fraser is now gone from the list of vintage no-hit pitchers from my dream want list!

Chick (Chic) Fraser threw a no-hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1903. Fraser was a scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1934 when this Brooklyn Dodgers banquet menu was signed. The event took place in Long Island just as the 1934 baseball season was just beginning. One off the list, with 18 more to go...

Take a look for yourself. Note that HOF Hack Wilson was also in attendance and signed the banquet program as well.

Too bad Hack didn't have a hangover and miss the event..would've saved you a couple bucks . Congrats on the pickup!

Thanks Mark! Very true, but it is what it is. When it rains it pours... August has been a terrific month for pickups. It literally made my year for unbelievable finds.

This is the first Chick Fraser that I have seen offered in perhaps a decade. BTW, Jim was nice to me and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Many thanks Jim!

Baseball signed by Bill Veeck and Eddie Gadel.

That's price you pay for collecting the more obscure players.

I bought an album page with a really nice, old school Baker on it but my focus was on Buck Freeman:

Eddie Plank

[Bored5000]

Of the players that are impossible/very difficult, the top two on my list would Ed Delahanty and Matty.

As far as athletes that are at least more realistic, I would love to have a Jim Thorpe letter.
