Completing a HOF collection

As you will soon find out, your task will prove to be a lot of fun and challenging but will also have its share of frustration as you will lose out in some auctions where you may not have another opportunity to obtain a card of a "really tough-to-find" HOF'er. This is especially true if you are working on a budget and don't have unlimited funds to purcahse any card that you want.

My task is that much more difficult in that I collect the earliest possible issue of each HOF'er. Until this past week, I was only collecting career contemporary cards of each HOF'er but have just decided to expand my collection to every HOF'er and simply look to purchase their earliest issue, even if it was produced years after the individual was out of baseball. To make it a little bit more challenging, I have also added Ford Frick and Taylor Spink award winners to my collecting efforts.

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!
