PSA has quite a bit of databases with some or most of what you might be looking for

That book is great, and there is a companion book, identical in size, called Classic Baseball Cards The Golden Years 1886-1956 which shows most of the old non-Topps cards from the 1800's up thru the start of Topps, and it shows all the Bowmans thru 1955 also. I have both books, they are incredible.

Welcome! One way to begin collecting Hall of Famers, is to start with the more modern guys and work your way back in time. Generally the older, the more expensive. But many of the guys from the teens and later can be nabbed for bargains, if you're not too concerned with condition. For the really pricey guys (Negro Leaguers, 19th century, etc.), you can always find modern tribute cards to display as fillers, until you decide to delve into attempting acquisition of a card made during each players' active years. Just be patient. And enjoy the journey!! ~ Ken
