Since the Senators moved to Minneapolis in 1961 and to Texas in 1972, that means I could add a few Twins and Rangers. This also includes any player who was traded to and played for the Senators, even if it was just a couple of games - so I scoured the baseball-reference site year by year for the Senators to see if there were players whose names I recognized who had cards. And I found guys like Jim Piersall, Johnny Pesky, Curt Flood, John Roseboro... turns out there's a decent assortment of guys. I've just started it and it's working out ok (my bullpen is a dumpster fire inside a gasoline refinery though).
I haven't completed the two missions yet, though I'm close (I refuse to pay an arm and a leg for a couple of silver cards). My main issue is catchers, I think I only have 4 from which to choose.

As you get more seasons in it is def more restricting since you are looking for specific upgrades. I am going to open it up but put some parameters in place. If I open it up to a card for any year a player played as long as he played in the 70's I would exclude someone like Ernie Banks who retired after 1971 but was a part time player and a shadow of his former self in his 70 & 71 season. I want them to at least be a full time player for a couple of years in the 70's because I want to open the door a bit not blow it off the hinges.
