HOF Autograph questions?

[hawaiian bam bam]

Thank you both so much for your help, I appreciate it. I will order the book and also have printed out the list. that list is awesome and exactly what im looking for! thank you...it looks like about 50 or so players are unattainable or rare, leaving about 260 or so HOF players that are reasonably obtainable.

Bam I believe I came across you in another forum a few years ago. This is the best site if you plan on collecting HOF'ers. There are a number of interesting collections on here, many collectors with deep pockets and a passion to have the best.

Although my pockets are not very deep, patience and timing has helped me to get into the 230's since I started in 07. And although a new addition (outside new inductees) is now few and far between, it is still fun surfing the site, looking at what people have added to their collection(s), and becoming more knowledgeable.

I think the "what I can get under $1,000 ea" mark is probably around 225-230?

I have always wondered this myself, 225 is probably fair if you don't mind medium/condition, plus a little bit of luck.

I agree with your assessment of the under $1000.00 availability. It all depends on the medium you want it on.
You know the under $1000.00 availability is significant but think about how many signatures are available for under $500.00 , depending on the medium, maybe 150-200? And many of these can be acquired quickly too.

Hey how are you friend! I do remember you! Glad to see you here as well. I am so, so impressed with this site. Im not sure why i didnt find it years ago. Just in my short time here I can already tell this site and its members are the very best in the hobby. I feel like I have been in the minors all thsi time and just got called up to the majors! these guys are awesome, just very knowledgeable and very nice guys here. what i love is everyone is so helpful here. on other sites, you post a question, you will get 40-60 people viewing it and not a single person answering the question. here the knowledge and help is just amazing. and the collections here are world class, these guys have some serious collections here that are fun to see. for me, i focus on brooklyn dodgers and hofers. im at about 160 of the 310. im trying to collect all of the hofers but just learned that about 50 hofers are impossible to collect. i would be happy to get to the 225-230 range. again, o glad to see you here too!

Watch for an Oscar Charleston in the next Love Of The Game Auction.

On this board that is known as a shameless plug.

Nice.

No thank you...but nice.

BTW it kills me that I had to fork over $250 so that JSA could give their "blessing" to the thing. C'est la vie.

Seriously?! Don't the auction houses cut some sort of deal to get a reduced rate on bulk submissions?
