There are quite a few deceased and HOF players but most are relatively inexpensive. The toughest/most expensive HOFer in the set would probably be Randy Johnson, unless you also decide to work on the Traded set which includes Ken Griffey Jr. The tougher guys are going to be the commons that disappeared after their careers, especially those players from foreign countries like the Dominican, Mexico, etc.
Here's a quick run down of the guys that might be challenging and/or costly to acquire: HOFers- Randy Johnson Hank Aaron TBTC (he's very pricey these days) Gary Carter (has 3 cards in the set (base, All-Star, highlights), and he did not sign cards made after 1984 for free, so anyone who obtained these cards probably did so for their own private collection, which limits the amount that would be available to the public now.) Kirby Puckett (probably not hard to find per se but may be more expensive than you'd first think since his death was sudden and unexpected) Deceased players- Tim Crews Pascual Perez Frank Williams Bo Diaz (passed in Venezuela in 1990, would be very hard to find) Carmen Castillo (he hated signing) Toughies- Fred Manrique Hipolito Pena Jim Traber Mel Hall Andy Allanson Johnny Paredes Mike Diaz German Jimenez Jose Cecena Stan Jefferson Carlos Quintana Candy Sierra German Gonzalez Wil Tejada Barry Bonds (even though he's involved in the game again, he's super tough) Hope that helps.

Claudell Washington is not tough to get. He signs for $10.00 via PastPros.
I got Glenn Hubbard on my Braves Leaders today and special thanks to someone who got Bert Blyleven and Tim Laudner for me at TwinsFest, along with Neil Allen and Roy Smalley again. 248/792. |

I got Mark Salas back c/o White Sox Spring Training and also Kurt Stillwell for 251.
Both would be good for the person who's collecting the 1989 set. |
