Kenny ColeThe Vorthian/MW discussion was somewhat entertaining for a while, but, after thousands of comments (including mine), it grew old. As I read the accusations and counter-accusations, it became boring. I found my mind wondering to stuff I actually cared about.
Historically, I am a HOF collector. Cardwise, I still need McPhee, McGowan, Harry Wright, and the dreaded Allegheny Selee to complete my collection of players, coaches, umpires, and executives who have had cards issued contemporaneously with their tenure in pro ball. On the flip side, I have Cuban and Puerto Rican cards of every negro league HOF'er who has cards of whom I'm aware (excepting the Vino Peptona
Barnet card of Willie Foster which is utterly impossible), including Charleston, Lloyd, Dandridge, Dihigo, and Day. To my knowledge, none of them have an American issue card.
So here's my question: What comprises a HOF collection? Does the card have to be issued in North America to qualify? Opinions?
