PSA Hall Of Fame Players registry set of 239 cards

I totally agree with the previous post. I hope to eventually have a card of each player issued during their career (or at least pre 1961) and if I come into some serious $ in the future it would be nice to find some legit cards of the Negro League hall of famers. The rankings don't really matter to me. I know a bunch of other guys who have sets in this registry and we have fun seeing each other add to their collections.

Congrats on the project, Jeff. That registry set is a great way to collect all the HOF players. Some are super tough, or super expensive so that registry gives collectors lots of options in all price ranges. I like how you're doing it. Picturing the cards, like you did, gives a nice way to display your collection. Collectors can see that you didn't wimp out and buy 1980's cards of the pre-war guys.

Your set looks awesome Jeff, keep it up and collect the way you want. Who is anyone to judge how someone else collects cardboard pictures, whether that is 1920's cardboard or newer 1980's.

Ron & Scott, thanks for the compliments! I would rather pick up one really nice pre war card than a bunch of 1980's reprints any day. I have a lot of patience and I'm in no rush to fill out this collection. But on the other hand, if someone is into the reprint or modern cards of vintage players kind of thing, that's cool too. Everyone who collects can only buy what they can afford. Just have fun!

Ron - I still need a McGraw!

Very Good Jeff.

My collection is a little more than just cards. Mgrs/execs/umps included. I've decided to stay strictly career contemporary(when possible). I do however accept the Laughlin cards for Negro Leaguers. For a lot of the 19th century guys, I've chosen to include woodcuts. Also for executives and early 20th century players, I've decided to include guide pages that feature them photographically, as long as it pre-dates or at least matches they year of their first released cards..

Using these odd rules, Currently I'm at 56% complete, and 28.5% complete for rookies(or items that pre-date standard rookies) Woodcuts and guide pages only count as rookies in my collection if they are listed on the "earliest collectibles" thread, or match the same year from that thread.
