T-3 Turkey Reds Of Cleveland Players
Posted By: Ronnie
I am hoping one of you experts can help me. I am new to collecting the older items and am determined to collect one card of every Cleveland player (Indians, Spiders, Naps, etc.). I like the larger format items and have gone after those first. |

The Niles card has "Boston Amer. & Cleveland" for the team on the front, but pictures him with Boston, so I'm not sure if this counts as a Cleveland player in your eyes. |

Sounds like a fun collection, but the Just So cards are going to be next to impossible. If you able to get a type card, you will be doing good. |

Just a friendly suggestion. Stick to the Cleveland AMERICAN LEAGUE players, whether they're called Indians, Naps, or whatever. The team started in 1901. If you go before 1900, you will only frustrate yourself. Jay mentioned the Just So cards. They are virtually impossible, with only 1 each known of some players, and only about 2/3 of the Jesse Burkett card in existence. And he has no other card with Cleveland. Another Jay who frequents this site (Jay Miller) can probably tell you about other 19th Century Cleveland cards that are unique or nearly so. |

I think Beckett published a book something like what youa re looking for back in the late 80s. |

Beckett did, in the late 80s, publish a "team checklist," but I'm guessing it's not what you want, as it didn't encompass more than a few pre-war sets, such as T206. |

If you can find a copy of the Sports Encyclopedia Baseball, it is broken down by year with rosters for each team. That book, along with Total Baseball are absolute musts for research. |
