So I have all the living HOFers and most of the deceased ones into the 1970's. Missing Mickey Mantle and Kirby Puckett.

Puckett is the main reason that I now try to get them pretty quickly. I kept pushing him off and he unfortunately passed before I added him. His postcards now command hundreds of dollars, which is more than I am willing to pay. The funny thing is that he signed at the Iowa Cubs Winter Convention a few months before he passed for $25 a pop, which was 75% off his regular price. They wouldn't take mail order, and I couldn't find anyone to help me out. Oh well.

I really started to get them sooner than later in 2010 with Doug Harvey. There were rumors that he was pretty sick, so wanted to get him taken care of. Now I just try to get them signed within 6 months of induction.
