The 200-card 1917 Collins-McCarthy "Baseball's Hall of Fame" issue is the company's only non-PCL set. Printed on thin stock and featuring black and white player photos with a thick gloss surface the set is loaded with stars and Hall of Famers and has become incrediblly popular among collectors in recent years due to player selection and scarcity. The glossy surfaces are also subject to wear resulting in some condition-sensitivity that makes high-grade examples difficult to obtain. All 26 cards in the presented collection feature players from American League teams and appear to be in collector-grade with some degree of rounded corners, heavy creasing, tears, writing, and back damage impacting all.

Collection includes the following: #1 Agnew, #8 Austin, #9 Bagby, #16 Bodie, #19 Burns, #22 Bush, #24 Cady, #34 Coveleskie, #52 Fournier, #53 Gainer, #63 Graney, #66 Groom, #67 Guisto, #121 Morgan, #129 O'Neill, #145 Rumler, #151 Schang, #155 Severeid, #157 Shawkey, #160 Shorten, #163 Smith, #181 Walker, #182 Walsh, #184 Wambsganss, #186 Weilman, #193 Witt
