HOF as a “set” collectors - how many of us are out there?

[jimtodd]

Yes, it is a good goal I’ve also been actively working on!
I narrowed the scope into sections first to make it less daunting:
1.) Collect all HOF excluding: lower tier HOF, 19th Century, Negro Leagues, executives, managers
2.) Collect lower tier HOF, managers, execs (if possible)
3.) Collect 19th century dudes (if possible)
4.) Collect Negro League players where possible (currently have modern sets covering all, but would love to fill in w Cuban, Mexican, supplements, etc where possible)
5.) Collect all future locks and should-be HOF

I have 34 left on #1. I also try to diversify the sets so I don’t have all goudey or 1940 play ball of everyone.

I am currently collecting 3 things in this order at this time

1 - Finishing off the complete run of Topps sets from 1970 on. EASY

2 - Picking up as many as I can of my subjective list of the 20 greatest St. Louis Cardinals at each position (50 SP and 60 OF) since 1900. MEDIUM

3 - HOF'ers as they are available and funds permit - EXPENSIVE at times.

Yep. My #1 collecting goal. But I have the unenviable and “impossible” task of getting the earliest of each HOFer (all, including players, executives, umpires, etc.). It’s quite an awesome checklist and touches on all sorts of card types and years. It’s the ultimate type card endeavor.
