Nice stuff, Ken! I, too, chase the earliest I can get my hands on, but I envy those who only focus on the prewar RCs. If my pockets were deeper, I'd be doing more. It's fun, though, to slowly work my way down towards reaching their RC. So, for example, with Babe Ruth, I've gone from an '80s All-Time great card, to a '73T card, to a'62T card, to '32 Sanella, and now my '26 w511....with attempt at getting his RC in about 50 years.
It's cool getting to have different cards of each HOFer while in pursuit of my lofty goal.
