"Big Head" strips are an interesting set to date. They show Babe Ruth as a batter, artfully adapted from a similar image printed by Universal Toy & Novelty Co. (catalogued W516-1) in 1920. 1919 seems his first everyday batting season.

There's a good chance Universal Toy also printed the "Big Head" set, implying a date _after_ their W516-1 image, which still showed him pitching. W516-1 says "Yanks," so it came out after his sale to New York in late Dec 1919. He more or less stopped pitching in his first NY season (1920), so W516-1 either came out in 1920 or Universal Toy missed changing that text in later years.

You could add a Pop Lloyd from 1924

Great cards and suggestions.
The pop on the Pop is just 4 on PSA and likely out of my range, but awesome card. The 1918 Zeenut Crawford is a target (also low pop count). TCdb has the 1918 Zeenut Lefty O�doul as a HOF, but that�s because he�s in the Japanese HOF, not Cooperstown unfortunately.
