At one time, a complete run of hall of famers was a goal, but the number of negro leaguers (a subset of baseball I really appreciate by the way) and fairly marginal 1800s guys made the less interesting to me. There are certain hall of famers for the Negro Leagues that if you want to find a contemporaneous card of them during their career, you will end up spending the same you would for a Cobb or a Johnson for a player that 98% of baseball fans would have no familiarity with. That just made it less interesting to me. I still collect a lot of hall of famers, but my drive to add a Bid McPhee is minimal.
