Well said.

I probably have several dozen RCs of each of these non hall of famers (Baines, Lee, Morris, Trammell, etc.). And every hall of famer that began from 1988 to about 1995.

They cost me very little to acquire. You can still buy junk wax VERY cheaply to acquire more legitimate HOFers like Bagwell, Biggio, Chipper, etc. I find cards like this weekly at thrift stores, Goodwill, Vintage Stock, Savers, etc.

It's extremely affordable to acquire these cards in quantity.

You can even buy factory sets cheaply to assure that you get the good rookies. Keep the other hall of famers in those sets. Hold 'em for the future. Dump the rest.

So....Nike.
