I use "HOF prospecting" to help finance my hobby purchases...buying graded RC's of guys who are undervalued because of a lack of hobby heat. Jim Kaat was a recent big win for the wallet. I made a decent profit on a few Jim Leyland graded, but his market didn't materialize as much as I hoped. Dick Allen has been over-heated so long I don't like the buy-in price, though many think he's a sure thing one day.
Also, I wonder how this committee handles a guy like Dave Parker. He played more games during the 80s, but he was obviously at his hottest during the 70s.

There's a decent list of guys like Tiant, John, Grich, even Concepcion that can be picked up dirt cheap. I've always thought it was an underrated strategy. Ted Simmons is another great success story for those who bought like this.
