these cards are just so fundamental to me. they're deeply powerful in how they were distributed and accessed/accessible. and perhaps that contributes to their perceived market valuation now.
would love to hear your thoughts.

Personally I like this set. However, I used to collect individual HOF'ers that interested me due to the size as some have mentioned previously, and the difficulty picking up the nuances of the set. Exhibits are sort of like JD McCarthy postcards are the to the'60's - '80's. I like JD McCarthy postcards because all of the poses were not on printed on the main issues of a players card and the set contains the images cards or postcards produced of many players. However, there are so many postcards and variations...something like 2,496 at last count
