Default Beckett's Baseball Card Hall of Fame

They've only picked 10 cards so far. You act like they should have covered the full spectrum of cards. It just can't be done in 10 cards. I actually have more problems with their vintage selections than I do the modern ones. I drop the m101 Ruth and CJ Jax. Yeah, they are hot cards today, but that hasn't always been the case. I'd replace them with the t206 Plank and Magie.

When I got heavy into the hobby in the early 80s, no one was talking about the CJ Jax or the m101 Ruth, but they were talking about Plank and Magie. They have been more significant to the hobby than with the Jax or Ruth card.

Cards like the t207 Lewis, Miller and Lowdermilk along with e90-1 Mitchell, which were huge in the 80s, have lost thier luster.
