First - I love this set. I don't like baseball or baseball cards, but this is the kind of set that epitomizes collecting for the love of.....the game, the time period, the style, the cards, etc. To quote Alan from the site you referenced, 

"The Conlon Baseball Card Collection is a wonderful set; unfairly ignored because monetary values aren't significant - but a set that is much more valuable in history, uniqueness, and rare photography than any other card set I know of."

Second - Thanks for sharing a link to "The Conlon Baseball Card Collector".  That was an enjoyable "cup of coffee" read. The site creator does a great job or organizing and presenting the history of that set. He's obviously an expert and his passion for the cards is equally obvious. Definately an example of the passion and knowledge I strive for....but know I'll never reach.

Hello Chad, glad you enjoyed the conlon blog.  Sounds like a new challenge for the new year (adding all Conlon to your want list)

also, Chad....I sure wish there was a Conlon- like set for basketball or football....there has to be a lot of players in the 30s,40s, early 50s that we never heard of ,and have no regular cards issued....but would be good subjects for this kind of effort..
