I’m kicking around a few ideas once this one is wrapped up, but would prefer allocating my current hobby funds to tracking down these final 14.

1. A “Lefty Louvre” project including all 15 HOF southpaws. Again, no rookies, but a different card for the post-war guys than this Topps era HOF project.

or

2. A pack certified autograph run of every southpaw Cy Young winner (25 total). All but Mike Flanagan have one, I think. Mark Davis might not have one either. Would just get a JSA or PSA/DNA copy for them.

Have enjoyed following this one and look forward to the next! Both of those are great ideas.

Enjoying your passion. Awesome Storage Box! Glad you chose the '63 Koufax, but sorry to hear you chose the '58 Ford...the '58 Spahn is a great-looking card...but, hey, looks aren't everything.

Continue on, Sir.

haha…you’re not wrong. The ‘58 Spahn is terrific. Come to think of it, the ‘54 Ford is a nice one too. Guess I could have swapped years for those guys. Just preferred an earlier Spahn, I suppose!

Thanks to gustomania, I just learned about PSA’s cool digital album feature.

Totally free and non-competitive (unlike their registry).

So, I moved everything over this afternoon. A nice upgrade, IMO!

The finish line is in sight after today's pickup.

39 down, 53 Paige to go!

'Rounding third and heading for home.'

Have been enjoying your chase.

BTW, that is a nice Feller. Took me some time to find a centered copy for a VG/EX '52 low number set I was working on.

[cjedmonton]

So the finish line took much longer than I thought it would.

3 years after starting with the '71 Palmer and 15 months after picking up the '52 Feller, I finally landed a Satchel I was happy with in my budget.

Will post a final group photo soon...until the next inductee(s).

Thanks for looking!

Congrats! Well done!

I enjoyed following your progress over the last 3 years.

Congrats; you could make a couple pretty good 5-man rotations out of those guys.

Congrats…….
