Been trying for a long time to put together a HOF signed 39 collection. It's a wacky set. You think about some of the really tough autos from the era, and some of those guys simply weren't in the set. Gehrig, Foxx. Then the 40 set came out and had some impossible or darn near legend types with Joe Jackson and honus.

The 39 set was/achievable, but it also has some really difficult signatures to come by, mainly due to some of the guys simply not being prolific signers... ott, Paul Waner, chuck Klein, heinie Manush... Those guys just didn't sign much at all on cardboard, so I figure if I can put that "set" together, it'd likely be the only one.
