Thanks for bringing to my knowledge a collecting niche that I did not know existed . That is definitely an exclusive club as well!

Interesting thread!

I have no clue about HOF auto's, but I'm guessing some rare one's include:

Josh Gibson
Alexander Cartwright
Henry Chapman?

Alexander Cartwright isn't common but isn't that difficult. There is one right now in REA. Josh Gibson is more rare, but even his signature comes up once in a while.

I would say the toughest are (and this can be found in numerous threads) in no order:
George Davis
Frank Grant (no known examples exist)
Pete Hill (see above)
Cristobal Torriente
Sol White
Jose Mendez
Bob Feller

There is supposedly a safe somewhere that contains unautographed Bob Feller items. It could just be a rumor.
