A daunting task lies ahead

I want to "TRY" get a card of every single Brave player that has had a baseball card made. I don't know how many men have played for the Braves all together or which ones of them have a card. I do know the list will be huge and the task will be near impossible to complete.

That isn't going to stop me from trying however.

I only want cards of the players in an Atlanta Brave uniform however. I don't want a card of a former Brave in a another uniform or even those in the minor league . I am not looking for rare/fancy cards, just a CARD of the player.

I also don't know rather to cap the year at 2010 as evrey year that progresses there will be more and more players. It will never end.

Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of every player to have played for the Braves?

  1. Rather than get a list of EVERY Braves player, I would just work on one year at a time. Maybe start with the year you were born and work to present time. Or, start with 2009 and work backwards. The task won't seem as daunting.

  3. You can find a list here: http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/history/players.jsp

    You should be able to cross reference with Beckett's checklist to see how many have Braves cards.

    Good luck.

  4. That's a good idea NY Hitman 23. It would help me from getting so overwhelmed

    I haven't decided yet Swag and thanks. The Boston Braves/etc would be harder to obtain though.

    Thank you for the link paulsrandomstuff:)

  5. This is a daunting task, but well worth it. Here are a couple of places that might help you make your checklists. http://www.ultimateteamset.com/Atlanta-Braves-List.html?mgiToken=20KE9QE22DK1FC1AK1 will help you make your checklist from 76 to now. Another good tool is http://www.guitar9.com/bccm.html the baseball card cyber museum should give you good info for farther back. As a fan who did this for my Mariners, it takes time and money, but worth it. I'm glad I did mine. Hope that will help you start if you decide to do it.
