What percentage of your Prewar collection consists of HOF members?

[Exhibitman]

I don't do commons. I have a few leftovers from when I was a kid building sets, and I will buy the occasional T206 portrait (Lobert, Leach, Steinfeldt to go with the other three, etc.), but I rarely acquire a non-HOFer. O'Doul is the only one I collect and he's in the Japanese HOF...

[Rhotchkiss]

I went with 100% because, aside from sets and 6-8 brown T206 old mills/brown Lenox, all I collect is HOFers, and specific HOFers at that.

Edited - Actually, I have 5-10 Joe Jackson items, and he is not in the HOF, (but I consider him a collectable HOFer), but still much closer to 100% than 75%

[GeoPoto]

I don't collect any cards because the player is a HoFer. I collect in a half dozen different foci and collect HoFers along with everybody else in the focus. For example, pre-war Washington Senators (Nationals, etc.) which includes a fair number of HoFers: Griffith, Johnson, Rice, Harris, Goslin, Cronin, Manush (with cameo appearances by Mack, Coveleski, Speaker, and a few others). But post-war Senators is a HoF wasteland: Killebrew in '55-60, Herzog in '57-58, Williams as manager '69-71. Then there's first black players which is rich in HoFers: Ernie, Campy, Doby, Monte, Minnie, Frank, and Jackie (out of 19 players total). So, answering your percentage question is difficult.

No idea? As a set collector I just don’t look at it that way, while the HOFer might cost more not any more important to me?

[Golfcollector]

100% As it is all Sam Crawford....

If I include golf cards it is also 100% on pre war.....as it is all Walter Hagen, Tom Morris Jr and Sr, Bobby Jones, Harry Vardon...and really no one else

+1

[3finger1908]

I collect 1907 & 1908 Cubs, I am 26% HOF by card count. I also don't view cards as an 'investment' and keep my collection below 2.5% of my net worth. If I was an 'investor' I would have a higher HOF %.

No clue. I collect sets.

Same here

I prefer HOF'ers but with some rare, type cards (a few collectors do the set) you take what you can get.
