Cool, it's always nice to see others' collections. No biggie about moving it. Good luck with the collection!

I'm working on a similar collection but a different approach. I'm more interested in the bigger name guys, so I've added Mantle, Mays, Clemente, Gehrig, etc. I don't think I'll ever add every HOFer, but have also added most of the recent players in PSA 10, Griffey, Maddux, Glavine, Larkin, etc. I am willing to go lower grade than you mention because I can't afford the big cards in high grade, although I try to get the nicest grade I can afford at the time. I'm focusing more on post war than pre-war.

Yes you have some nice cards. It really is best to start with the biggest hurdles. I do not have the funds for that right now but as this is a long term endeavor perhaps one day.

Very nice collection. I originally wanted to go SGC as I like their slabs the best for vintage but decided ultimately on PSA due to availability as well as a couple other factors.

May I ask how long have those two PC's taken you?

Thanks Mike! I've been collecting the RC set since 2009, their counterpart autos probably since 2011 or so. It's taken a while to amass this much mainly because I'm picky when it comes to price. Also since I like to stay consistent with SGC as far as the non-autos, it might take a while to get all the modern SGC 98s that I need.

Any site with an up-to-date HOF Rookie card list ?

I personally keep a spread sheet. It is separate worksheets within the spread labeled as Rookie Cards, RC Parallels, Extended Rookie Cards, XRC Parallels, and then Others which for now is a list of all the members that do not have cards in the aforementioned sections. Others will eventually be first appearance, high value rookie year cards, etc.
