Wow! Two excellent Heilmann's. And you are going to pass me by soon, taz. I'm sitting at 250 (a number not likely to move until new members go in).

Soon? Probably not, Cobb and Comiskey are probably the only 2 under $1k that I need, after that-who knows???? You know I avoid cuts whenever possible, so the costs are usually higher. Things get crazy when you get to our numbers. That stupid supply and demand law.

Taz and Bombjack...
250 is a heck of a collection considering that you can never complete this or for that matter ever really get close to completing it.
I gave up at 296 and was confident in 275 of them.
One thing that will help is that the 19th and early 20 th century ball players won't be on the ballot until 2030 so there will be ample time to increase your numbers as they elect members that aren't hard to acquire and you also have plenty of time for speculative buying as I did for many years with guys like Deacon White , Alex Pompez, Effa Manley, Hilton Smith , Turkey Stearnes, to name a few that I purchased years before their election.
