I just wanted to stay thanks again. Hopefully the roller coaster is over and the grind begins. I am seeing clearly, smiling more, making every attempt going forward to be less dramatic and more even keel - but I will be the first to admit that is a lifelong struggle.

Out of curiosity this morning I counted up the HOF auto cards.
There are 43 deceased HOFers including 12 on the vintage card
Highlights include a 56 signed Ted Williams in lower grade. Wife suggested I keep that for the 56 set but I would love to figure out the value and trade for a higher grade slabbed 56 Williams but not sure of the trade value

There is a 65 signed Hunter Rookie, 58 Mathews 53 Kiner, a 51 red back Feller as well 12 total Killebrew signed cards - most of them on modern issues. There are reprints of Hubbell, Spahn, Rizzuto, Kiner. There are also 5 modern Tony Gwynn Cards.

In addition there are 47 cards signed by living HOFers including a 62 and 66 Perry, 64 Giant Brooks Robinson, 67 Frank Robinson, Ripken, Schmidt, Henderson, Carew and a few others.

Yet to be catalogued include 2 Griffey Jrs, Bo Jackson, a very nice grade 71 Steve Garvey, 53 and 67 Joe Nuxhalls, Don Mattingly, 71 Tommy John, and enough Bert Campaneris' to cover family members for multiple generations (20ish).

Challenge now will be ascribing value on these as there not a ton of comps (if any).

So, thank you again for your guidance. The auction was at 50 bucks and who knows where it would have gone with 13 cards pictured off of a camera with bad lighting.

No hurry as I am going to let it breath a bit - just wanted to point out what was there versus what was listed in the posting.
