there were a ton of nice HOF rookies, a couple went for about half what I was expecting so I ended up winning 2 of them!

Phil,
I had bids in on the Collins,Brown,Gehrig,Lajoie,Sisler,Plank,Johnson + Speaker but ended up winning the Lajoie Sport Supp. and Johnson Nov. Cut. at what I feel were half what they should have gone for. The Lajoie was #1 on my list as I rarely see that piece and the fact that he is listed as an A, makes it that much more attractive to me (I'm an A's fan). There are only a handful of HOFers who were rookies as A's but were then quickly moved to other teams of which they are famously more known for. The only other HOFers that I can think of that had rookies pictured as A's are Cap Anson, Joe Jackson, George Kell + Nellie Fox.

Great pick-ups, Dan, congrats. Interesting info on the A's.............

Yes indeed. It's been a crazy month for tough Hall of Fame rookies. The total combined population (never mind graded) of Ott Leader Novelty and Collins W600 could be in the single digits.
