Which non-HoFer do you collect? (and why)

[rhettyeakley]

Royal "Roy" Castleton, the first LDS/Mormon Major Leaguer and pitched a perfect game in the Minor Leagues for Youngstown, Ohio. Played for the Reds and Yankees.



He is back row far left:


I have all of his mainstream issues (not all pictured here), I need to find a Western Playground to complete the run.

Harry Sutor. I randomly bought this 1911 Gilmartin and an E100 of Sutor when I first started collecting and figured, "Well I have to have his toughest cards, may as well get 'em all." Boy, was I ever wrong. His T4 Obak sits on e-bay at $3000 toying with me for the last few years, but I just can't pay that. And his E100 type 2, well, Leon sold his to someone besides me, as well as his E221 Bishop SF. And his T5 Pinkerton? I haven't seen one with the mount, and only saw one on e-bay about a week after it sold. Then there is the Western Playground. So no, I have some tough ones, but not nearly his toughest (though I've not seen another Gilmartin no idea the total number of each of these).

Rhett, I love this Crackers card. Been after one for ever.

Ed,
I have never seen another example of the Castleton but have seen 3-4 examples of Harry "Dick" Bayless. It may have been a 2 person set, one picher and one position player but others on the team may have been issued and just haven't been seen yet. It is an oversized postcard, a bit of an unusual size so that may limit the numbers that survived.
