Who was your first pre-war HOFer?

Tim Jordan is in HOF now?

Woah! My bad. I missed the "HoF" in the thread title!

Pretty sure my first pre-war HOFer was one of the following- '33 Goudey Joe Cronin or Paul "big poison" Waner, or a T206 Rube Waddell pitching. I bought all the same day at the same SF show a few years later while in HS.

I still have them all, though the mediocre Mr. jordan has long since come down from my wall.
