You'll run $1k apiece for the bigger HOFers (Vance, Dean, Hornsby X2, Speaker, Gehringer, Grove etc.) A few of the commons will be in the same ballpark (Berg, Bengough). Let's call it $10k for the big name HOFers

Lower tier HOFers are in the $600-750 range (Lundgren, Hoyt, Hubbell, etc.). If there are 20 low tier HOFers, you're adding $12k-15k.

I think $300 is probably closer to the average price for the true common cards. It we say there are 200 commons, that puts you at $60k for commons alone.

All in, by my math, a PSA 4 graded set will be somewhere around $175k, without Lajoie. Obviously deals can be found, but I don't think I'm too far out of line.

If I'm short, you're on the moon. Just having fun. I just took prices from most recent sales, not the lowest, and
was only looking at hammer price, so it was definitely low. The VCP is probably the most accurate in that 90k range as a good average. If you know of a good outlet to sell commons for $300 a pop let me know. I'll start buying them by the tractor trailer full.
