BB HOF'ers with no career contemporary cards issued
 

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>With so many BB HOF Rookie Card/Earliest Card Collectors out there, how does everybody handle (fill in your collection) those players/managers/executives/pioneers who never had a career contemporary card issued?

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Dont give up on Honus Wagner, cards from his playing days can be had for under $200 all the time. Ive picked up a few (E254, WG5/6) over the last 2 years, and just sold one last week for $150 in PSA-4 (1913 WG6).

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>If there's a team issue photo, I'll pick it up. Otherwise, I just recognize the fact that the player/executive/etc. has no card and move on. I can't imagine the hellish nightmare of trying to track down a tintype or ambrotype or whatever the heck there is of Candy Cummings or Alexander Cartwright. And how anyone could hope to find anything baseball related of Morgan Bulkeley is beyond me.
