You can get the earliest/best practically possible card, then upgrade later if desirable. Many set collectors do the same thing with grade.

You could also call it a HOF rookie & early card collection, having one of the player's early cards when the rookie is not obtainable.

No one can complete a full HOF RC set, so that should not be worry. Even T. Boone Pickens would have to make some allowances and do some fudging if this was his collecting focus.
