Ernie Lombardi
I collect 1935-1945 Reds. The #1 player I consider to be Ernie Lombardi. I have some of his cards. But I consider his Wheaties backs to be essentials. He has 4 as far as I know. I have three. I have only seen the 4th in poor condition. There is also a Zeenut card of him from the PCL. I would like to buy that someday as an essential. And then I stretch out and pick up news archive photos. I purchase paper newspaper photos if they have multiple team members in them. I imagine the older the player the wider the net that is cast.

Sometimes, but Honus Wagner was a teammate of my guy, George Gibson throughout his career so... usually don't have the dollar$$$
Unnecessary towards the final Gibson collection though. Nice adds I guess.

As a HOF "career contemporary" collector, I always prefer an individual card. But for the super tough guys - specifically some of the Negro Leaguers and 19th Century Pioneers - team postcards will do just fine. Often, those are the only option. And many turn out to be some of my favorite cards!
