Re: T206 Brooklyn Superbas mailday - 85% complete!
These are the four I'm missing:
Al Burch (batting)
Bill Dahlen
Harry Lumley
Happy Smith
Of the four, the Dahlen is going to be the toughest. Dahlen has two variations - Brooklyn and Boston. From what I can tell, the Brooklyn one is harder to find, although I've seen it come up on the Bay a couple times since I got serious about finishing the set, but definitely for higher prices than I've picked others up. Lumley doesn't seem to come up all that often, but hasn't gone for premium prices. Burch batting and Smith will be the next two I pick off - I'll either bite the bullet and hit a couple of BINs I've been eyeing, or be bit more patient and see if I can snipe them in a regular auction format.
Here's a page I set up for my Dodger/Superba prewar collection. There are a few T205 and '33 Goudey shown there as well.

Have a look at this be-a-utiful Happy Smith I just picked up. I don't think it was up for more than 30 minutes before I stumbled across it while looking at current auctions for all Brooklyn players. #24 is on the way!

For a .500 pitcher (134-134), Rucker has several good seasons for the Superbas, Dodgers, and Robins.

The Smith arrived last night. The wife misplaced the package, so after some frantic searching, it finally turned up. The group picture is edited, plus the signature is, too. I made my sig smaller so hopefully it doesn't cause any problems for those with smaller screens. My apologies if it was.
Here's the whole set as of today (24/27):
