So, why isn't he in the HOF ?


George C. Miller cards as nice as this one are very tough to find.

It’s amazing to me that he’s not in the hall Ted. Better case than even Gil Hodges I think.

As for hard HOFs, I’ll throw out Eddie Roush. I’m a Reds fan and have been trying to snag as many Reds prewar cards that I can. Roush just has the 15 CJ and a hand full of strip/team set cards. Falls inline with his contemporaries but is someone I’m very familiar with.

By the way, thank you all for the really great responses. I'm working on putting together one of every Hall of Famer. Originally, I worded it as "one card of every player from their playing days" but as someone brought up, some of these guys are more easily found as managers. So I should probably change the verbiage to state "one card from their involvement with MLB."

I recently consolidated some of the smaller Pre-War HoFers into some of the bigger HoFers (Cobb, Gehrig, etc.). As I move closer to completing the "big boys", it's interesting to see other people's struggles with finding many of these Pre-War HoFers.

Interested to hear more. Thanks!

Tyler, it appears to me that Roush has many pre-War cards, including all of the M101-4/5 issues and E121 and related issues: http://www.vintagecardprices.com/bas...multi_player=1

Historical importance and rarity aside, that Menéndez card is just a great looking baseball card.

Amazing photography... here are both graded cards - I think that I had posted these before, but probably not together...
