I am trying to acquire 1 card for each person in the Hall of Fame (if possible). I have broken down the members by era (Pre-War, Post War, Modern), and have different requirements for each era.
Pre War: Any playing days card.
Post War: Their last card.
Modern: Their rookie card.
I am not looking to complete this project in one post, but want to see what's available and buy a little here and a little there.
The following are a list of players/backs I currently need from the 1930/40s. I am looking for lower grade examples, with minimal to no paper loss, no writing/marks (stamps, especially date, might be ok), but creasing/wear is ok. I prefer the HoFers to be graded by SGC, but would consider other companies (raw is least preferred).
