Hunt/Casterline Pro Football Hall of Fame Card Collection

[TanksAndSpartans]

Robert, I don't see any of these mentioned in the link:

Complete 1931 Walker cleaner set in binder
Star candy cards
Mayfair candy cards
Spalding football cards
Nagurski Dixi ice cream lid PSA 8
Grange Shotwell cards
Kellogs cards
Complete Topps Magic photos

That's why I asked. Are others seeing these mentioned? I see this:

"Featured sets include the 1894 Mayo’s Cut Plug set, the first to focus solely on football players. Also included is the 36-card 1935 National Chicle Football Set, considered to be the “Holy Grail” of football sets, and the 1957 Topps Card Set that includes a “who’s who” of future Hall of Famers."

Mayo, Chicle, and 57 Topps which are all mainstream sets. I'm glad you mentioned those items are in there - that brings out information we wouldn't have had.

I don't think misstatements on the website are going to deter people from seeing the collection - that really wasn't my point - but the write-up had a few elements that weren't great, so I mentioned one of them - so what. The point was - here's an amazing collection on display at the HOF - take a look. But I don't think you got that as the point of my initial post.

Here are some statements I didn't mention from the website's write-up:

1. "A rookie card is not necessarily indicative of the player’s first year, but more specifically the first card issued with his likeness."

But that isn't what the HOF rookie set on the PSA registry is - those are all mainstream cards - the earliest is from '33 and there are some HOFers not represented which doesn't seem right - but I didn't mention any of that in my initial post because I wasn't trying to be negative.

2. "Most in the collector industry consider the 1965 JOE NAMATH rookie card as the single-most-valuable."

So that hinges on the fact that the Nagurski PSA 9 didn't sell at auction? - just seems like a technicality to me. Like it was brought up so your collection would have the most expensive card - who cares about that anyway? So I didn't mention that one either.

I'm glad you thanked Steve - that was a nice thing to do. If your first post had thanked me for starting a thread informing people (although a couple months late), that your collection was on display, I'm guessing the exchange would have been different.
