Most of the cards from the 1960s and '70s were from my childhood, so I actually began this HOF project with those. For the modern players (post 1980), I am able to grab them at a little card shop in my hometown. The guy deals mainly online, but still carries thousands of cards in the shop - usually for $1 each. ($2 for rookies). I generally just have him pull a bunch of cards of the latest inductees, and I choose the one I like the look of best. Often, I'll opt for the earliest year, but sometimes I'll go with a player's best season (MVP, batting title, etc.), or perhaps a season his team won the World Series. Sometimes, just which card I think is the coolest, lol! Thank you for your interest and kind comment.
