Nice Larkin plaque!
I also try to collect the HOF Plaques, but over the past few years it's gotten tougher. Some of the newly elected guys have started charging premiums for them: Alomar, Blyleven, and Harvey come to mind immediately. Carter did for a little bit after his induction as well, and then dropped them to $25 on his website. Blyleven is cheaper if you go through his site/foundation. But the resell (and I know collectors shouldnt be concerned about resale, but still....) is low on these. A guy on SCN had a bunch of Harveys he was trying to unload for $30 shipped with a holo from the Bob Feller Museum. And another guy on there claimed he had Killebrew's collection. They all looked legit to me, and he was selling the Ashburn for $75.
These are great to collect, I do so myself, but between players upcharging for them and the resale being terrible it's tough.
