Klrdds seems to have the highest count on the board, and I want to say he is in the 290 range which, honestly, may be higher than Cooperstown. Without spending a decent amount of time looking things up, I would say 10? additional members are in the 220-240 range. I know of some other collectors that are above 250, but they never show their face here

I would say there are 10-20? HOFer autographs that simply do not exist in the open market (Hill, Grant, Torriente) or only 1-5 examples exist and are in collections that will never become available (Joss, Thompson, Waddell). That being said, you could probably acquire over 200 of them without spending more than $500 on any one individual signature. However, once you go over a certain point, things go up exponentially.

PSA/DNA actually has a HOF Rarity index here:

I agree with most of it, except Jesse Burkett and Barney Dreyfuss-I think they should be switched (Dreyfuss is an Extreme rarity by them and Burkett is a 9)

I remember a Burkett signed Albertype postcard came up for auction in 2007. Went for a large chunk of change.

I collect baseball snapshot of HOF players and managers ...then I'll slowly collect Negro,Executives etc...

211 players 22 managers.

I have 81/233 that are unique in about 1.5 years of collection them. Only at 35% done!...with just players & managers, lol

I prefer them to be signed, but I'll slowly replacing them as I go along.
