Are you a Hardcore HOF player collector?

[Big Red Machine]

A big part of my collection are players from the Big Red Machine but primarily Johnny Bench. I'm still trying to track down a nice 1970 Topps Candy Lid.

The icee poster is fantastic, thanks for sharing!

not sure about hardcore, but the PSA Registry grabbed my competitive spirit awhile back when it comes to collecting just the basic Topps issues of some of my favorite HOFers, so I have attacked the task of completing several PSA HOFer player collections, including:
Frank Robinson
Ron Santo
Lou Brock
Johnny Bench
Roy Campanella
Ernie Banks
Ed Mathews
Rickey Henderson

Yes indeed, are there very many out there?

I know I've looked for a 7-11 cup poster from the early 70's for years and the best I could ever do was a color copy of one.

Jason,

I wish I knew more about the Korean card of Seaver. I bought it on ebay about 10 years ago. I showed it to a co-worker who reads Korean, and he said it was put out by the Lotte potato chip company. The back reports a won loss record of 14 and 2, which was Seaver's record in 1981, so I figure it's a 1982 card. That's about all I know. I've searched desperately for another one of any player and never found one.

Any chance you could post a scan of the back of the card? Lotte issued some cards in 1980 or 1981 using the fronts of 1980 Topps cards. It was a weird assortment of pitchers (at least that's all I have seen), but I don't know how many cards were issued and I've only found the one reference to them.

New to the board and wanted to chime in.

I was raised a Braves fan and Hank Aaron is the player I collect the most. I currently own every Topps base Aaron card except the 1954 rookie. Every Topps base card is graded 7 NMT, or higher, by one of the 3 reputable grading companies. (Not a big BVG fan but 1 of them is a BVG 7.5). I also own a World Series card, some allstar cards, other dual player cards, and league leaders cards with Aaron too.

I want to add the 1954 Johnston Cookies RC next (have seen a few PSA 6's worth bidding but lost). Then the 1955 Bowman.......and eventually I'll find a way to budget for his '54 Topps. I think I'm going to sale my 1986 Fleer Basketball set (all cards in PSA 8 and 9) to raise the funds for the his Topps rookie.

Also want to add the 1959 Aaron / Mantle card............but all the Mantle collectors have the price jacked up.

Hank would be a great HOF player to collect. Post some pics of your favorites if you have an opportunity.
