I collected all the hofers (minus Lajoie and the 2nd Gehrig) in 09, 10, and 11. Then last summer I decided to go for the rest of the set.
As usual I'm in the raw "fair/good/vg" neighborhood
I'm now 15 shy for the set (counting Lajoie and a 2nd Gehrig) and my list of hofers to upgrade is at 16.
here's a photo with the Manush upgrade I just received from Jason in front of my hall of fame cheese box.

Love the wooden drawers Tony! In addition to collecting cardboard, I dabble in woodworking and I'm actually in the design phase of designing and building a desk that I'm going to incorporate small apothecary style drawers into like you have, to store cards in. I’m pretty excited about project and your pictures have provided a little extra motivation.
