FS 1979-1980 Hall of Fame postcard collection
Really interesting collection here from the estate of a long time collector. Included are 185 Hall of Fame postcards covering inductees from 1936-1980. It looks like it was assembled in pages and a binder around 1980! Includes a checklist from the hall of fame listing the Hall of Fame inductees by year indicating a total of 173 members. The postcards are stored in pages in a binder. There are 174 unique and 11 duplicates. Of the 185, 44 (of 54 possible) are the highly sought after color bordered 1979 Dexter press examples (PSA grades these). The list of 1979 Dexter examples is:
Cobb, Lajoie, Mack, Alexander, Spalding, Evers, Tinker, Frisch, Pennock, Traynor, Heilmann, Simmons, DiMaggio, Schalk, Vance, Crawford, Roush, Flick, Faber, Huggins, Keefe, Williams, Waner, Medwick, Campanella, Hoyt, Musial, Boudreau, Frick, Koufax, Youngs, Clemente, Evans, Kelly, Dihigo, Lloyd, Rusie, Joss, MacPhail, Mathews, Giles, Mays, and Wilson.
The cards are NM and better with 1 exception (a duplicate Jackie Robinson that is scratched up). Will come in pages in a binder
Some of the Dexters are apparently quite difficult to find. I saw examples selling from $8- $40 (Willie Mays) in completed Ebay sales.
First $475 gets the whole collection delivered. I collect sales tax from New York delivery addresses.
