Completing HOF Signatures of Football (371) vs Baseball (342) HOF Sets - Which Easier

[tazdmb]

I am currently at 275+ Baseball HOFers and I know that finishing it will literally be impossible as the population of certain players are 5 or less, which players-like Frank Grant are impossible-as it was believed he was illiterate.

Baseball has a deeper/longer history so finding certain autographs are just that much more rare, coupled with the negro leaguers-in which people were just not collecting autographs and died in obscurity.

Good luck

Baseball is exponentially harder than Football. As noted, there are a lot of signatures that are impossible or near impossible to get even if you had unlimited income. Fun journey but getting to 100% or even 95% is impossible IMO.

I'm at 262 for baseball and I would say there are maybe 5 more that I can add beyond what's in my current collection for under $2k a piece. I'll be lucky to get to the 275 mark in the next 20 years with my budget. I don't know a ton about the football HOF but with the longer history, negro leagues, and more it seems a much greater challenge.
