X post- Callahan HOF Set

[Jmad]

Clayton,
Thanks for the response. Yes, they seem pretty readily available. I may grab one of the big annual books to use for reference. I guess the good thing about that is it may give me additional small set ideas to chase after!

It seems a small group of people have many of the PSA cards. To a certain extent I feel like there is some price control of the issue as I never see them cheap.

There are a few odd short prints like the Schalk (the card I want) so some of the bigger name HOF sell for less then the short prints. However looking at schalks I have never seen one sell which to me means they are priced to high and they are all owned by the same people who won't drop the price.

Looking at VCP all the ebay BIN are at least 200-300 more then the last sales. All the listed sales are for PSA holders at least for the schalk.

Neat set, but I don't love them and would rather spend the money or a true vintage card.

Some years ago I owned a boxed set. I think there are a couple that are shorter because they were issued later...probably new inductees. I have seldom found these in less than Ex condition.

The sets were issued over the years, so the later inductees are rarer.

Great link- thank you very much! I picked up a 2011 Standard Catalog, so I'm getting familiar with the values. At $40 it was a tough spend, but seemed to be a necessity. I'd like to venture into some of the older sets, so it will be very helpful for education.
