While they are all greats, I doubt that your poster would be that much less valuable because any one of those listed wasn't on it. Certainly not enough for me to risk sending it out over and over just to get a guy like Ozzie Smith on it. I mean no offense to Oz, but he sig is common and not likely to add much, probably not even the cost of the signature, to the value of the poster.
Value to cost ratios aside, the completist in me probably wouldn't be happy without all of them on it.
Good Luck,
Mark
Mark,
I believe that this is all around outstanding advice.

I would also mention that it's possible that some of the high priced autograph guests likely will get less costly after the halo effect wears off. Many of the recent HOF'ers and future HOF'ers are still young. Wait a few years and I suspect that their price will soften in some cases. Just my 2 cents...
