You are getting down the home stretch. Which cards did you save for last?

Alex - I hadn't tallied the remaining cards in a while, so glad you asked - other than the 6 I'll never own, I need 25 (so called) commons, 15 SL's and 21 Hofers - not impossible in my lifetime.

All I have left are the six biggest Dawgs, the non-Nat'l Doyle (NY Hands Above Head), the inaugural HOF class, players celebrated in movies, poetry and song and a few HOF that are now by anyone with more than a passing interest in the history of the game. It grows questionable as to how much further I can take this. It is a given that my pace will slow but I will keep looking:D:eek::)



After these five, my new MN is 484.9



242. Willie Keeler (Batting) P150

57. Mordecai Brown (Cubs On Shirt) P150

110. Sam Crawford (With Bat) SC350

313. John McGraw (Portrait No Cap) P150

172. Ed Foster OM



Not my scan but.....

Mike - That's awesome! I often wonder if it easier to put the if cards for last or if doing so will make me want to give up when I get there. What are your thoughts?
