Which non-HoFer do you collect? (and why)

[Koufax32fan]

I collect Doc Oberlander cards. No relation, but the only Oberlander to play in the majors.

Many of the great Negro League players who are not yet enshrined in Cooperstown, including: Alejandro Oms, Dick Lundy, Cannonball Redding and others.....

I don't have a good picture of the collection, but I collect Whitey Glazner, because once you have these two you might as well go for all of them. Mainly I just need the Lou Gertenrich now to finish the collection. Unfortunately, there's almost certainly only one of them out there, and I have no idea who owns it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I'm fairly certain that having 11 cards of the same Old Judge player is considered hoarding. Nice collection though, especially the Syracuse version at the top

OK, I've already posted (Post #34) my favorite non-HOFer Hal Chase. Anyhow, I must also include "Turkey Mike" Donlin in this thread. Especially my
favorite white-borded tobacco card pose of him. Like Chase and Lefty O'Doul, one could make some good arguments why Donlin should be in the HOF.


In 1905 John McGraw made Donlin the Captain of the New York Giants. In 1905, Mike enjoyed his best season, a career-high BA = .356 with 216 Hits,
and he led the NL with 124 Runs. Mike's lifetime BA = .333 and had he taken his BB career more seriously....."he would have been a contender"....for
the Hall of Fame.

Hey Guys
You can see "Turkey" Mike on the TCM Channel when they are featuring their series of Silent Movies. Donlin appeared in 67 movies from 1917 to 1935.
Including, the classic 1926 movie...."The General". And, the 1927 popular BB movie...."Slide Kelly Slide".

I got hooked on variations when completing my back run and ended up with too many. There's a complete back run, wst, three with name at top and bottom, color shifts, variations and minor miscut. I'm done spending money on cards so will likely sell these and let some other hoarder keep going with it.

Not that John would know anything about hoarding a single player in the OJ series....

All of my pre-war (and my most favorite post war - Garvey) favorite non-hovers were mentioned already in Daubert, Rucker and O'Doul. You probably see a pattern developing, as some additional post war faves include Willie Davis, Gil Hodges, Billy Cox, Carl Furillo and Al Oliver.
