This T213-2 should prove to be a challenge (not mine of course):
![]() You'll probably encounter some pretty obscure team-issued minor league sets as well.

I'm thinking that there will be several minor league cards for a team that was in existance only briefly... that would be the answer to the OP's enquiry.
But golly, seeing BobC's list of Federal League teams, I don't recall seeing a card for that 1913 team that was in my home state; anyone ever seen a card for the Covington Blue Sox or the Covington Colonels? If you have one can you post one? |

In the Old Judge set it would be Wilkes Barre --only one card known of John Irwin with the team.

Thanks Jay, that was the one I was thinking of, but couldn't remember.

If you differentiate teams by the leagues, names, and classification... there probablly aren't many cards of anyone from the Stockton team in the California League, the first of such named leagues. That team had three seasons, 1888, 1889, and 1890.

I think this is the kind of question that can truly be understood by attempting to collect over a long period of time. Its kind of like (but even more complicated) trying to complete a set of a famous ball player with an extensive list of cards. You start out knowing the basics by collecting the known, conventional wisdom, but as you go through it, you find out more and more that is virtually unknown leading you to deeper rabbit holes. It is one hell of an interesting attempt that surely would be tremendously rewarding to a collector.
