But Leon...

my "fear" is that the HOF would become a shrine to only the same few players over and over.

Anson is everyone's favorite... so he gets voted on every time.

Are we voting on which cards LOOK the coolest ... or which ones we would rather own (value-wise)???

I am sure that there are several COMMON cards in every set that are the most appealling to the eye...

like the "dead man" Old Judge!!!

If we vote on PURELY the "image" of the card and how "neat" it looks...

then we shouldn't care if the player on the card is a HOF'er or a nobody.

I am cool with this... but just looking back at the PREVIOUS entries into the HOF...

it is clear that "star status" and "market value" had a LOT to do with THOSE cards getting elected... NOT their "eye appeal."

I just want to know what the requirements are supposed to be, that's all.
