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 31 cards in the presented collection feature players from National League teams and appear to be of collector grade with some degree of rounded corners, heavy creasing, tears, writing, and back damage impacting all. 

Collection includes the following: #4 Ames, #6 Appleton, #10 Baird, #18 Burns, #23 Byrne, #41 Dell, #42 Doak, #44 Doyle, #48 Fischer, #50 Fletcher, #58 Getz, #100 Long, #105 Mamaux, #117 Meyers, #120 Mitchell, #125 Myers, #128 Niehoff, #130 Paskert, #132 Perritt, #133 Pfeffer, #144 Rudolph, #148 Saier, #149 Sallee, #152 Schulte, #153 Schupp, #158 Sheckard, #169 Stock, #188 Whitted, #191 Williams,  #196 Yerkes, #200 Zimmerman
