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.

nice cards everyone
Especially like the Luke Easter one

Very excited to add this one! It's a bit OC but I think has great eye appeal for a "4".

Great card! I don't have a problem with OC cards. That's just how it was cut at the factory for the kids in '56. No intentional damage or anything like that. Congrats on the pick up!

Love the 56 Mays!

Thanks...very excited to to add the Mays. And I agree on OC cards...sure, perfect centering is great, but this is a much nicer looking PSA 4 in my opinion than one that's better centered but with dog-eared corners.
