pre-war HOFers were never the area that fed new kids into the hobby. And while prices for pre-war are at or near all time highs, availability has never been higher with all the auction houses and the popularity of the Internet. Plus, beat up T206 commons can still be had for $10. I do appreciate your take on it as being a new comer to the pre-war arena.
