Ross Barnes was born in my hometown and should be in the HOF.

I collect Dutch Revelle for the hometown connection and the great image presented on his T210/T206. I only need the T206 Hindu to finish the run. But come to think of it all I collect are non HOF players. I dont have a single prewar HOF card in my collection currently. One of my top goals is to upgrade this card one day.

My favorite non-HOFer is Hal Chase.
As a kid I read quite a number of books on Babe Ruth; and, in them Chase's fielding (and hitting) prowess were often mentioned. Babe Ruth once said.... "Hal Chase is the best 1st baseman he had ever seen". So when I returned to this wonderful hobby in the late 1970's, my first T206 was this one.........  .  .  Does anyone on this forum know of a blue Chase with a DRUM ? ...... I have been searching for 37 years, and have not seen this combo.  ------v     .   .   .   .  TED Z .

Some wonderful cards displayed here. Congrats to their owners. I realize this is a pre-war site, but even so I am amazed there has been no mention of Rocky Colavito. Where are the late 50's and early 60's boomers from Cleveland and Detroit?
I have a fourth of my curio case dedicated to him. Signed bat, HR Derby card, 59 Bazooka, '57 yearbook I had him sign as "Rocco Domenico Colavito", not just "Rocky". There's a scorecard with him and Maris in the lineup together- wonder how the Tribe woulda done in 61 with them??

My extensively-collected non Hall of Famer player is also a post-war guy. Steve Garvey was my favorite player growing up. Was a complete gentleman and somehow, despite the pedestal I had put him on, didn't disappoint when I met him at the age of 10 in 1975. Met him again about 5 years ago and had the pleasure of talking to him for about 30 minutes...another awesome experience! My black-bordered 1971 Topps is a PSA 9. Best I've been able to get (so far) on the even crueler O-Pee-Chee rookie card is a PSA 6. Now back to our regularly scheduled pre-war programming...

Tim Jordan, (Washington 1901, New York AL 1903, Brooklyn 1906-10), because he died the day I was born.

Oscar Stanage for me. I picked up my first T206 (Stanage) in 1982.
