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

Kenny, love that Bellaire Globes cabinet photo of Sol! But I also understand the trade for that rare TG Charleston. I was fortunate enough to pickup this 1911 Lincoln Giants RPPC with White, Lloyd, & Santop last year. Such a great hobby!

Hi... I started my playing days HOF collection back in 1994 with my son. I currently stand at 232 players and always look forward to adding to my collection when new HOFers are announced in January. I chose the cards based on likeability and affordability at a time when I was sole provider for my family of seven as the wife felt that food was more important than cards. I have no Negro League players and no umpires or executives however I did purchase Cracker Jack cards of Connie Mack, Rickey and Comiskey years ago. Another project that I started about 10 years ago was to acquire one new age card of each HOF player. I have autograph cards, game used material cards and love the new Helmar cards offered on eBay each week. I have 232 of these cards as well. Good luck with your project and we should all aspire to have a HOF collection like Ken Wirt... which is fantastic.

Thank you for the kind words, David!

I was down to 5 players I didn't have a PSA card of, and all 5 are at PSA waiting to be graded. But now I need 2 more, with Bud Fowler and Buck O'Neil newly elected. There is a way to get all the Negro Leaguers with the beautiful 2020 Negro League Legends set.

HOFers are all I collect too. I really enjoy the PSA Set Registry for providing friendly competition with other collectors and helping me track my collection. It's also been a great source of communication between collectors (like scottgreb!) and occasionally a place to make trades, purchases and sales.

Here's links to few of my HOF registry sets:
