HoF PC Project (1910s/1920s)

[sterlingfox]

This is almost exactly the goal I had when I first got back into collecting 2.5 years ago.

I've since decided to stick exclusively to prewar and 19th century, and am down to only Plank in the prewar category (Wagner too if I don't count the coaching days cards).

I've also expanded my goals since then by quite a bit (complete sets, master sets, all HOFers from other sets, type cards, T205/206 backs, etc). It's a slippery slope...

Best of luck!

Is it ever... Haha. That's excellent though! The Wagner coaching card, even though it is a period-correct card, would not work for me because he went in as a player, not a manager. I have the Post-War and current Modern HoFers completed, so I'm down to strictly Pre-War players now (although a '51 Berk Ross DiMaggio is on my list).

As for Wagner, that's true - was just hoping to get away with spending under $1000 on him lol. I just officially added him back to my list. Now it's Plank and Wagner... and Shoeless Joe Jackson too (not a HOFer, but I added lots of non HOFers to my list, like the Black Sox players, Moe Berg, etc). My T202 McBride/Milan/Schaeffer on First card with Shoeless Joe supposedly in the center panel is not an official playing days card either.

I don't blame you. Plank/Wagner/Shoeless Joe are BEARS, but the Black Sox, Moe Berg, etc., are all very cool cards with unique stories. My Moe Berg sits with my 1934(?) Sky Birds Doolittle.

I appreciate the heads up!
