Greatest All-Time All-Stars Sets
Which MLB set composes the greatest all-star team ever assembled? Assuming any player in a particular set is at their peak level of career performance, which set would you choose? Mine would be the 1933 Goudey set:
1B Gehrig 2B Hornsby SS Vaughn 3B Traynor C Dickey RF Ruth CF Speaker LF Ott LP Grove RP Dean Last edited by robw1959; Today at 01:28 PM. |

I’ll offer 1956 Topps into the conversation. If the Mick at first feels like a stretch, there is Gil Hodges. Definitely some other positions where one might make a swap: Berra for Campy, for instance. 1B Mickey Mantle 2B Jackie Robinson SS Ernie Banks 3B Eddie Mathews C Roy Campanella RF Hank Aaron CF Willie Mays LF Ted Williams LP Sandy Koufax RP Bob Feller

Mathews was card #58 (as a Tiger). I like this team because Mantle was actually at first at the time. But I guess you lose Banks if you look at it that way.

Aparicio the only arguably weak link then. Really strong otherwise.

I this picking Tris Speaker from the '33 Goudey set is cheating. He was not an active player. If the Goudey Speaker is ok, then you might as well pick the 1976 Topps all time greats set, or something assembled from the all time greats in the 1940 Play Ball set.

How about the 1916 M101-4 set lineup? Pretty darn strong with the exception of Catcher and Left Handed Pitcher:
1B George Sisler 2B Eddie Collins SS Honus Wagner 3B Frank Baker C Ray Schalk RF Babe Ruth CF Ty Cobb LF Joe Jackson LHP Eppa Rixey RHP Walter Johnson Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; Today at 04:10 PM. Reason: molenick was on top of my blunders, as well as oldjudge |

You could use Bench at c and Schmidt at 3b if you go out of the subset (and make Aaron DH if you wanted one).

Edited to add: Didn't remember that Bresnahan was still playing, so I suggest him at C.

Nice catch(er). I actually had Bresnahan as my catcher, but then inexplicably decided to give Wallace a shot at the position, perhaps because I thought he had a face that would look good behind a catcher's mask. Brian |

Brian—Cobb was not in the M101-5 set but he was in the M101-4. My M101-4 team is:
C-Schalk 1B-Sisler 2B-Collins SS-Wagner 3B-Lajoie (he played a little third) OF-Jackson OF-Cobb OF-Ruth P1-Johnson P2-Alexander Manager-McGraw I’d feel comfortable going to battle with this team against any of the others mentioned. The Collins McCarthy type sets of 1917 might even be slightly better, losing Lajoie but gaining Hornsby. With that group I would play Hornsby at second and Collins at third.

I guess I was also looking at it like you'd have the set. I prefer the Bowmans over the Leaf on average, though I've always thought that Ted Williams Leaf card is one of the nicest of all cards.

Cheating a bit but the 1972 Kellogg All Time Greats Set. Soft spot in my heart since this was the set that inspired a 10 year olds fascination with pre-war. - |

Zack Wheat only played the outfield during his ML career. Frank Baker or Heinie Zimmerman seem like more appropriate 3B choices from this set.

I would take Roberts over Drysdale. Spahn over Koufax. We've done Aaron and Clemente many times lol so not going back there.
