Which Santo items are the BB HOF collectors going after (besides the obvious 1961 Topps RC)?

I jumped the gun a little bit this time and got lucky as Santo was the only one that I pre-bought before this election. I picked up a 1961 Manny's Baseball Land premium on e-bay about a month ago. Not a high dollar item but probably one of Santo's more obscure early pieces.

Default define FAME ...

Is it called "the Hall of Fame if you played long enough"?

Or is it called simply "the Hall of Fame"?

Seems like the first and foremost criteria is FAME, no?

I still don't get the longevity deal - either you were great or not - longevity should just add to your prowess.

Poor Roger Maris - multiple MVP award winner - World Series winner - Owner of the most hallowed single season record in all of sports. Maris just oozes FAME - cannot deny.

Bo Jackson - probably the most famous athlete of his day - TV ads galore, posters galore, every kid wanted his cards. Experts call him the greatest athlete of the past 50 years, maybe greatest ever.

Jim Thorpe got into Football Hall with less of a career than Bo.

Somebody please recognize true FAME and let in these 2 guys.

Who was more famous? Ron Santo, or Maris and Bo?

I just picked up his 1964 Topps Giants card. Not valuable of course, but I've never had one of those, and I believe that to be Santo's best season.
