My Hall of Fame Collection - 1 Down, 1 To Go
Posted By: Paul
As many of you know, I am trying to put together a collection of one card of every Hall of Famer whose name does not begin with "Spaldin". Ever since I picked up my Harry Wright and Ban Johnson, I've been telling everyone that I needed just one more card -- Bid McPhee. But in my heart, I knew it wasn't true. I knew there was another. My secret shame. Hugh Jennings. |

I know how long you've been hunting for that elusive w600 Jennings, and I couldnt be more delighted to see you finally get it. Just a great looking card too, regardless of rarity. Now somebody get this man his Mcphee! |

That is truly a tough card. As a Phillies collector, I have seen several other W-600s of stars of that day (Magee, Bransfield jump to mind). I have never seen a Jennings. I have a feeling that the 1902 Jennings was produced in smaller quantities than other cards (yes, I know some were produced for several years in a row). Great card...congrats. |

SO Paul as a hof collector myself I was wondering how do you define your collection..did the person have to play the game etc. |

that doesn't count with you. Do you have a 19th century Davis? I'd like to see the list! |

Thank you Ben, Brian, and all for your well wishes. I can't wait until I can find a McPhee with clipped corners or that is otherwise affordable. |

True, his eyes may be a bit "night of the living dead-ish", but at least he's not doing that stupid turkey dance, like on 99% of his other cards (ok, slight exaggeration there, but you know what I mean). I think he's a dreamboat |

Zach, Evans is on one of the early white border exhibit cards. They used to be classified as 1921-24, but they are now classified by individual year. I think Evans is considered 1922. It's in the Standard Catalog. |

Paul - Obviously I love the card being that it's a portrait. Congrats on the addition to a wonderful collection. |

I'm still curious as to why 1909 is not considered as being during his playing days? |

Hal, that's how I used to justify ownership of the T206 Jennings to myself. But I always felt it was more of an excuse than a justification. Jennings completely retired during the 1903 season. He did nothing in baseball (at least he wasn't a manager or player) in 1904, 1905, or 1906. He came back as a manager in 1907. For the next few years, he would put himself in a game to pinch hit once or twice a year, up to four times one season, I think. And yes, he seems to have played one game at first base in 1918 -- for the first time since 1903. |
