Also grabbed a wanted black back of Luke Easter with decent/nice centering, which is tough with this card.

Nice p/u Dale, it displays nicely for the grade. Best of luck of the last 4!

Thanks to Jim for helping me finish my 1953 Canadian Exhibit master set with this green tint Luke Easter.

Congrats, Jay.

Been picking up some cards from players on the outside of the Hall of Fame looking in. Few, if any, will ever get elected to the HOF.
Unfortunately, many of their rookie cards are multi-player cards, so I picked up some second year as well.
Relatively inexpensive group.

Never say never. I think we will be surprised in the next 10-15 years, especially with some like Allen, Murphy, and Whitaker. Nobody thought Gil Hodges or Minnie Minoso would get in either 20 years ago. Allen in particular is starting to smack of hypocrisy if you look at his numbers, especially OPS in the time he played compared to everyone else. I've always thought the media has just punished him forever because they hated him when he was a player.

Yeah, I think Allen is the surest bet of the bunch, as he only missed by 1 vote last year.

But they haven't given Whitaker a second chance through a Committee yet. Hopefully that changes.
