Yes, I started that way... was doing well enough for several years, then hit yes to a) and b).

I didn't have that much in my 4 N172 HOFers, but they got to where they'd sell for so much, and my ability to buy some of the N172s I lacked was diminishing as the values soared, so I sold 3 of them. Someone here bought Delehanty, I think all 3 went to a good, appreciative home.

As HOFers were added, I knew I was getting further away from completion. Bid McPhee was deserving of induction, as I saw it. But getting a card from his playing days was going to be difficult... and then there came that crazy flood of new HOFers that included the woman. That was enough for me.

Maybe 20th century HOFers who played or managed in the Major Leagues would be manageable.
