You won't find Jerry Bell in that set, because there are only the players who made an appearance with the team in 1969.

Yep. Those were, I think, the first custom Pilots ("set", as I'd earlier come across a stand alone Jim Bouton) I ever saw on the web. There have been lots of others, all of them fine. But, like any idiot with a computer and a love of baseball (and cards), I wanted to make my own. So I did (last year)...126 cards plus variations (that did include a lot of "season highlights" cards, team card, Sick's Stadium card, coaches, and most of those who were on the 40 man roster in '69 and/or '70). Since then, I've gotten much better with my colorizing and digital manipulation skills, plus found some other (sometimes better) pictures, so I wanted to take another stab at it and include some of those I didn't include the first go 'round. Like Jerry Bell. Trying to find lesser used pictures as well. I plan to post the set over at Baseball Birthdays beginning in the new year--one card at a time (I'll likely include in each post the player's card--if any--from my previous set for comparison purposes or...nah, just for the heck of it).
