i love collecting perez steeles as they are my favorite thing to collect, however i am struggling with one thing with perez steeles and that is sharpie fades on them over time (at least the ones i have did) in my humble opinion, there is nothing that looks better than a perez steel postcard signed in blue sharpie my only concern is the sharpie does fade over time.

I'm up to 87 in the HOF set, have not tried to get any in the last year or so.

Why did they stop producing these?

I believe production of the cards ceased because Steele died. I wish another entity would team up with Perez and continue the series. I might cut production down to 5000 or even less.

You are essentially correct. The 15th series of the HOF Postcards was released June/July 2001, which was one year after Frank Steele died (in June 2000).

Subsequently, Peggy Steele (Frank's widow) and Dick Perez announced that the series would be discontinued.

Impressive. Were the cards purchased, in person or mixed?

All purchased. Just started around 5 years ago.
