Default HOF collection options

Posted By: zach

I like many am a hof collector too and just got past the halfway mark. I am going for a card of every member of the hall of fame. This includes players, managers, executives, etc. If the person is in the hall and never had a card produced from their active career I will try and get a cabinet photo of them, an org. photo of them, or their autograph. So this means that for example Alexander Cartwright, insted of getting his 1950 Callahan or another insert card of his that was produced long after his death, I will try to either get an autograph of his or a cabinet photo of him. I would rather have something "period" of the person even if not a card than I would rather have a card of theirs produced long after their death. Judge Landis is another good example, he has no cards that were produced of him while he was active in baseball so since his autograph his not impossbile to obtain I will get an autograph of his insted of his 1950 Callahan etc.
