Andrew, maybe I am confused, but in the photo of the first class, George is clearly present

It's kind of semantics. He was among the 1st to go in when the Hall of Fame officially opened in 1939, but the official voting started in 1936.

Dave, thanks. Now I understand, sort of.

Yeah, I think the first class (from 1936) is considered to be 1) Cobb 2) W. Johnson 3) Christy Mathewson 4) Babe Ruth 5) Honus Wagner.

There were classes in '37, '38 and then the one where Sisler got in in '39. But the first Induction ceremony wasn't held until June 12, 1939 with all 11 living inductees present (including Sisler)

As for the price of that Sisler Rookie, its nice to see him getting some love after having been left off the ESPN top 100 list.
