Default George Davis, Bid McPhee and HOF and Cards
Posted By: barrysloate

Peter- Joe DiMaggio was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1956. In those days baseball cards were worthless. When Bid McPhee and George Davis were elected, their cards increased tenfold in value.

How could they not? There are hundreds of collectors who look for one card of each Hall of Famer. As soon as those two were elected, everyone needed one at the same time. Wouldn't that greatly increase their value?

I think the answer to that question is self evident.
