Outstanding question! As far as I know, there is no single repository right now for all-time team sets. Your question, though, gives me a great chance to update the group on the projects I'm currently working on.
The facepack is undergoing a major overhaul.
Bristolduke has taken the entire facepack and created unique names for every player, so that gamers who play in historical, multi-season leagues do not have to wonder, for example, which of the five John Sullivans will show up in their games. I have nearly completed the testing and integration into release form for the next facepack release, which I hope will come within the next week or two.
With all of my attention being directed toward facepack upgrades, my team set work has lagged.
Lefty Lee noticed, and has created several outstanding single-season team packs that I will be posting along with the facepack update.
As a part of each team pack, I include manager and coach images (wherever available). Thanks to SABR, I have also added 17 missing managers (all 19th Century) to the missing player list, and I will add missing coaches shortly. If there is enough interest from the group I will start posting "found" and UNI manager/coach images to the forum as well.
And that brings me back around to the original question about what I call master team sets. My ultimately unattainable goal is to have team packs for every team/year combination, with each player, manager and coach shown in the proper uniform. When I complete a run of all team/season combinations I hope to be able to create a "master" team pack, with an image of every player who appeared in a game for that team. Being a Northwesterner like Spritze, the Mariners are at the top of my list for team packs and master sets, but I am still several months away from putting my first master set together.
I'd love feedback from the group about project and team set priorities and any interest in manager/coach images. Unless I hear differently, I'll keep forging ahead as I have outlined.
