HOF as a “set” collectors - how many of us are out there?

[familytoad]

You all have me interested in my HOF collection again!
Thank you!

I’m not terribly organized with mine since it morphed into set collecting . And unfortunately I do not have the HOF singles and sets all in one place for many of the sets , but I tell myself I will get there some day.

So what caught my eye is the difference between BP’s 120 count of HOFERS that sorta sounds like my criteria and the larger 266 from Ron.
We all have different counts on this quest it seems.
It seems that some of you guys have even different counts based on how you want to collect them.
I’d be very interested in trying to track these counts somehow .
And I guess it makes sense for me to develop my own count that I never really finished.

Anyone wanna play “What’s your HOF number” including a clever nickname?

It's creative/great how we all come up with our own collecting criteria!

Mine is

- Elected as 'Player' and card must be from playing days [thanks for taking a few AB's in the Teens Hughie Jennings and for being a player manager Jesse Burkett]


- Played for a National League or American League team (ALL of the 19th century guys at least clipped a still-existing MLB franchise I came to learn) and also adds in Willard Brown as well who only had Negro League cards issued)

Same here, but mine also involves collecting all (ok, most) of the HOFs usimg different baseball card sets. Takes some coordination and pre-planning. Close to finished.
