I am a particular fan of the portrait cards owing to their uniformity and found collecting them to be relatively expensive unless you are willing to wait a long time and shop around. |

My recollection is that it took a while form me to get Kling and Sheckard in 150. Moran was the last Chicago Cubs card I tracked down, though. He's at the other end of the set. |

Anyone want to venture a guess as to why 4 cards of Tinker....while just 3 cards of Chance or Evers ? |

Nice cards Ted. I have had much difficulty obtaining both Evers cards and the Tinker portrait 1st series cards for my T206 HOF set. The Chance and the Brown cards were fairly easy to find. |

When you study the T206 set, it's obvious that its designers "loved" the NY Giants and the Chicago Cubs. |

I believe Joe Tinker may be the least deserved member of the hall of fame (fame by association). Still, he is the finest T206 that I own. I think he might get an 8 or 9, but I'm afraid of taking him out of the screw down holder he has occupied for the last 20+ years. If he breaks in half when I open it, are there any cubs counselling groups I could attend? Maybe Bartman has started one? |

In terms of "numbers", Chance probably best qualifies, of these three, to be in the HOF. Their #'s..... |

As for stats, Tinker never even led the Cubs in hitting, Evers did once and Chance 4 times; Chance twice led the team in RBIs, Tinker once, Evers never; Chance is the ALLTIME Cub stolen base leader (304), Tinker 3rd...other than SB's none of the three appear in the top ten leaders of any major Cub offensive category! Career season high for HR's both Tinker and Chance an amazing 6... |

ted i am a white sox fan. i do believe the cubs have more casual fans and women tend to embrace the cute cubby image. wrigley is the largest beer garden in the city and tends to draw a lot of young people.remember the north side of chicago is much more affluent than the south side. white sox fans are jealous of the cubs continued popularity in spite of the lackluster teams they tend to field. in terms of real fans i still believe the cubs rule but the gap is much smaller. sox fans seem to dwell on the cubs while cub fans tend to just ignore the southsiders. the cubs have a great history and up until the 2nd world war were one of the "best" teams in the NL. the sox after the banishment of many of their star players fielded losing teams from 1921 thru 1951. that did not help to get new fans. |

Joe Tinker was known as the best man to come through in the clutch of anyone in baseball at that time. Sometimes lifetime records don't necessarily show how good a player really was. It was Tinker's help that got the cubs through to the series in many tight races (especially the '08 series). It also helps that the cubs had the tightest infield of anyone else. That coupled with Kling catching made it very tough to get hits through the infield. |

If you take their raw numbers and calculate their Runs Produced Index (RPI), both Chance and Tinker |

Id be surious to see Tinker's stats for the period of 1906-1910. Generally, the cubs were in close contention (ecept in '06) with the giants to get to the series and Tinker was one of the very few people who had Mathewson's number. Since Mathewson was most likely called in for the important games, it was Tinker's hitting that pushed them past the Giants. Even though he didnt have a great managing career, I think It says something that the reds trusted his talent to put him in that position in '13. That on top of te fed's wanting him as much as they did (maybe cause he was more willing to jump than most or maybe for true talent Im not sure?). |

I still absolutely believe he deserves his spot in the HOF. Again, for the reason that he helped them in the clutch. By clutch I mean, in the very important pennant games. These are the kind of records that dont show up in typical recods but do prove his worth towards helping the cubs get to 4 world series in 5 years. |
