Daniel Edward Moeller (March 23, 1885 – April 14, 1951) was an American professional baseball player.

Moeller was an outfielder in the Major Leagues from 1907–1908 and from 1912–1916. During his career, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Senators, and Cleveland Indians.

In 704 games over seven seasons, Moeller posted a .243 batting average (618-for-2538) with 379 runs, 15 home runs, 192 RBI, 171 stolen bases and 302 bases on balls. He led the American League in strikeouts in 1912 and 1913. Defensively, he recorded a .939 fielding percentage playing at right and left field.

The B18 Blankets were one of the more unique collectibles to come out of the tobacco card era. Instead of cards, Egyptienne Cigarettes inserted these miniature cloths into packages of its product.

Each ‘blanket’ measures 5 1/4″ on all four sides and includes a picture of a player. They were folded in order to fit into the packages and even today, you can still find them with the original fold marks.

In all, a total of 90 players were featured in the set that was issued in 1914. The pictures of the players featured color imagery of them in a variety of batting and fielding poses. The odd square shape was meant to replicate a baseball diamond. That is evident from the background behind the player, which featured basepaths and bases with small pictures of equipment. Additionally on the fronts are names of the players as well as pennants identifying their team and league.

During the first quarter of the 20th century, these were often sewn together to create pillowcases or throws.  

The set features plenty of lower-level guys since only a limited number of teams was included. However, there are plenty of stars here, too. Without a doubt, the issue is anchored by Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb. Behind them is a quality lineup of other Hall of Famers, including Walter Johnson, Zack Wheat, Casey Stengel, Bobby Wallace, Rabbit Maranville, Max Carey, Frank Chance, and Miller Huggins. The lineup isn’t staggering, which is helpful when trying to assemble a set. The set is lacking a couple of giants, too. It was issued shortly before Babe Ruth items hit the market and a few years after Cy Young had retired. Also missing in action was Christy Mathewson, whose career was still going strong – he won 24 games in 1914.

The real thrill to the set, however, are the variations. While 90 different players are featured, most have more than one variation. Those variations are the various colors of the basepaths, infields, or pennants that were printed on the blankets. Various colors for those items were used and make completing a master set extremely difficult. By most accounts, the rarest variations are the ones with a red infield. Those are incredibly difficult to find and typically fetch big prices.

Counting all of the variations, the complete master set consists of approximately 200 items.
