Completing a HOF collection

[Archive]

The Tip Top series is very tough in general but still possible. Certainly tougher than T206 or T205. Also tougher than E93 or E95. Maybe comparable in difficulty to E103 or D304. However, the inclusion of four non-player cards, IMO all tougher than the player cards, make the Tip Tops a more difficult set to complete. A single type card example, however, is certainly very possible to obtain.

I would imagine that few kids cared about the Dreyfuss, Locke, mascot and Forbes Field cards, so many of them may have been discarded, while everyone kept their Wagners.

Having said that, we may actually see Dreyfuss being offered up more often than usual as some collectors try to cash in on his new HOF status. Set collectors like me are not likely to part with their Dreyfuss, however.
