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

[davidb]

Hi... I started my playing days HOF collection back in 1994 with my son. I currently stand at 232 players and always look forward to adding to my collection when new HOFers are announced in January. I chose the cards based on likeability and affordability at a time when I was sole provider for my family of seven as the wife felt that food was more important than cards. I have no Negro League players and no umpires or executives however I did purchase Cracker Jack cards of Connie Mack, Rickey and Comiskey years ago. Another project that I started about 10 years ago was to acquire one new age card of each HOF player. I have autograph cards, game used material cards and love the new Helmar cards offered on eBay each week. I have 232 of these cards as well. Good luck with your project and we should all aspire to have a HOF collection like Ken Wirt... which is fantastic.
