Been collecting for 7 years or so and have over 230 HOF'ers.


Simply put, if you stick to a certain type of item, it will get expensive......If you stuck to baseball cards.....you'll be getting expensive at over 100 HOF. Single signed baseballs? Forget about it......

Most important thing is that 1) it's authentic and 2) you like it.

I prefer flats, but do have 2 baseballs...

Also, I got stuck in the numbers game...get the cheapest autos of the cheapest guys...... But so far in...you'll really start wanting to replace the poor examples you have for some nicer ones...trust me.......Most of those were since sold and upgraded....

If I had to do it over, I'd suggest going for items with multiple autos targeting 1 or more rarer guy..., like team sheets/team baseballs/ etc.... You pay for really the most expensive player, and all the other guys are practically nothing.....

For example...Got a pirates autograph book from the 20's....I paid about 1,000 dollars.....and got Wilbert Robinson (he alone goes for that)..... But, also signed along with him were lee and paul waner, grimes, Bancroft, and traynor. If I bought those separately itd cost way more...
