Baseball Hall-Of_Fame Autographs
I am thinking of obtaining Autographs of as many as I can afford, members of the Baseball Hall Of Fame. I would like your ideas on how you put your collection together and the items that you used. It is better to get all cards only? Or an autograph on anything, as long as you have an autograph of the ball player do just fine. I have about 30 autographs already on both cards and baseballs. Thanks.

I would say it totally depends on the individual collector, their budget and really, what makes them happy.
Personally, I have baseballs, cards, index cards... Don't worry about what others have, collect what you like. |

Baseball Hall Of Fame Autograph
Thank you Charlie for your perspective. When i do start, I would probably start with the easy and cheaper autographs.

I have 72 HOF autographs and I have cards, 3x5's, 8x10's and baseballs. I prefer cards as they are easier to store. I have my baseballs in a box in my closet out of the sunlight and they still get discolored. Having cards or even 3x5's or 8x10's makes it easier to store them in a book where you can look at them easier. That being said it just comes down to a matter of personal preference. Best of luck on your collection!

Al,
There is no magic formula for this endeavor. It's all about what makes you happy. Do you like a certain medium more than the others? How much room do you have to store or display? How quickly do you want to do it? Are you patient? How much money do you have to spend? The last question only really factors into the second question (with the exception of certain very rare signatures). Meaning if you want to do it quickly, you will likely need more money. The budget doesn't really affect what medium you get. If you prefer to get a Ruth SS ball you may have to save up longer to get the money for it, but if that is really what is going to make you happy, then why not? Remember, it's not a race or a competition. Collect what you really enjoy and you'll likely never b disappointed with your collection, no matter how big or small it is. Best, Mark

I'd start with the deceased guys as in the long run the supply will be less on most of them and guys in that category will appreciate faster and be harder and more expensive to get later especially if you do cards. In the long run it might be better to get say a $100 signed card now like a Stengel than 3 very easy $30 cards.
