Default HOF Rookie Cards for Trade - Clemente, Ryan, Bench, etc. (scan heavy)

I have quite a wide range of Hall of Famer rookie cards for trade, from Roberto Clemente to Cal Ripken Jr., and a whole slew in between. Many are in decent shape, but there are also quite a few lower grade ones with creases and what not. (The last scan specifically features a bunch that are not ready for prime time, as the saying goes.)

This thread is an update of one I began a while back, but it now shows a pair of the ungraded cards (1955 Topps Roberto Clemente and 1974 OPC Dave Winfield) residing in new slabs, plus a few other additions.

The autographed cards of Bench, Schmidt and Carter I got through the mail in the late 70's/early 80's. The Carlton was from an extremely diligent Lefty collector.







The '78 Eddie Murray is an OPC card.



These are decidely rough:


I'm not sure what I'm looking to get for these, but I am willing to hear what you have to offer and I'll be happy to answer any questions. I am NOT looking to sell anything, just trade, but will consider offers on the 1963 Topps Rose RC to help defray the costs of the higher grade one I just purchased, if anyone is interested. My 1957-1971 need list is floating around in other threads I've started, so you can check that out or...

I am particularly interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, graded or ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams & Roberto Clemente cards
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1962 Topps 'green tints' in high grade
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1953 Bowman Color BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1968 Milton Bradley HOF'ers
• 1971 Fleer World Series ‘Updates’ (1971 - 1977) in high grade
• 1972 Topps HOF'ers, high numbers and other cards in NM shape and nicely centered to upgrade my sets
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set in nice shape with stars and/or high numbers
• T-206's or other pre-war cards (possibly)
• And who knows what else. Sets, oddball things from the 50's and 60's?? I may be open to a wide range of things.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
