Who was your first pre-war HOFer?
I honestly can't remember for sure, but I think the first pre-war Hall of Famer I acquired was a T206 Elmer Flick. Nothing overly exceptional about either the player or the card, but I can't seem to part with it, even though I now own fewer than a dozen T206. I loved the name--it rolls off the tongue--and the card has just the perfect amount of wear to ooze genuineness and dead ball era. As I pay homage to 'ol Elmer, who was the first HOFer in your collection?
