Especially, playing as well as he did with that handicap.

Not seem him mentioned yet, but I'm invested in Luis Tiant making the HOF one day.

I use "HOF prospecting" to help finance my hobby purchases...buying graded RC's of guys who are undervalued because of a lack of hobby heat. Jim Kaat was a recent big win for the wallet. I made a decent profit on a few Jim Leyland graded, but his market didn't materialize as much as I hoped. Dick Allen has been over-heated so long I don't like the buy-in price, though many think he's a sure thing one day.

Also, I wonder how this committee handles a guy like Dave Parker. He played more games during the 80s, but he was obviously at his hottest during the 70s.

There's a decent list of guys like Tiant, John, Grich, even Concepcion that can be picked up dirt cheap. I've always thought it was an underrated strategy. Ted Simmons is another great success story for those who bought like this.

1044. Inductionary Reasoning
The profit-driven strategy of buying up cards at low prices (in advance of the inevitable spike to come) of a player you feel stands a better than average shot of finally being voted into the Hall of Fame by one of the ‘veterans’ committees.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Absoloutely! Ha.

Not that being "fair" matters too much in such a money-driven hobby, but my purchases haven't moved any markets as far as I can tell. Many of the purchases go down over many years and I bid below market on everything.

I lose 95%+ of the time. I'm only interested in deals on these slabs that will sit for years/decade+ since it's tieing up money.

BainesGains. Profits made from speculating on Harold Baines cards just before his surprise HOF election.

I had this one from way back when (Whoa! Has it already been that long??):

192. Raising Baines
The tumult caused by lesser players being enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
