HOF collection options

I, like many of you, am working on a HOF collection (both baseball and football). I am seeking suggestions/opinions regarding general collecting options for players that do not have cards. Any input would be appreciated. |

If you have tried Conlon, Cuban, Fritsch, and TCMA; please tell me which HOFers have no cards. I do not collect HOF players, but I do collect some groups of players which are not fully represented on cards. I am developing a plan to make my own. |

Sorry Gil....should have included that cards must be produced while the individual was active. |

Yes John, I know. But when you can not achieve that criteria do you do without the card, or do you then comprimize your criteria. |

I think you should call the Hall of Fame and just have the guy removed. |

For HOFer's without true vintage cards, I settle for vintage photos, periodicals, advertisements to substitute. The issue must be cardboard or paper and from the HOFer's active period. |

I like many am a hof collector too and just got past the halfway mark. I am going for a card of every member of the hall of fame. This includes players, managers, executives, etc. If the person is in the hall and never had a card produced from their active career I will try and get a cabinet photo of them, an org. photo of them, or their autograph. So this means that for example Alexander Cartwright, insted of getting his 1950 Callahan or another insert card of his that was produced long after his death, I will try to either get an autograph of his or a cabinet photo of him. I would rather have something "period" of the person even if not a card than I would rather have a card of theirs produced long after their death. Judge Landis is another good example, he has no cards that were produced of him while he was active in baseball so since his autograph his not impossbile to obtain I will get an autograph of his insted of his 1950 Callahan etc. |

One of the things that I love about HOF collecting is that you can make your own rules. |

I have started collecting all the bb HOFers in EX or better. Like the above posters, I feel tribute cards are fine and dandy. I am at 133 cards already so Zach you have some catching up to do. |
