I may not be understanding this, why does Lee Smith break the streak?

Surprisingly little impact.
Only 5 adjustments Slotted Kaat for mid 60s Moved Hunter to mid 70s Moved Sutter back a few years Moved Carlton and Gossage up a few years I have decided on the actual years for everyone, but will reveal them as a surprise for those following my progress. Nice to have an even 30 subjects now representing the first 30 years of regular Topps (1952-81)…at least until 2024. My own 30 for 30 if you will. Quote:
The main goal here is to represent the entire vintage era of Topps with a different Hall of Fame pitcher with no omissions, no repeats, and no rookies. With Kaat’s induction, every year from 1952-81 can be represented by a different HoF pitcher with no one left out. Just a cool coincidence. If I expand this to all Topps era HOF pitchers, I can add any of Smith’s non-RC cards along with the other 9 modern guys (Maddux, Glavine, Johnson, Smoltz, Mussina, Hoffman, Martinez, Rivera, Halladay). But the magic is to be able to assemble a run of 30 consecutive years during Topps’s heyday with every HOF pitcher during that time. |

It would take a new inductee with a non-RC in 1982 to continue the run (could add to it with an 83 Smith). Just my own rules to ensure I showcase the player and Topps design rather than RC status or value. Last edited by cjedmonton; 12-06-2021 at 05:35 PM. |

But your problem of course is there are only 5 HOF RC pitchers in all the 70s. Compared to 13 in the 60s lol.

Best of luck to you on your quest. I started something similar a few years back-- 2 HOFers from each year 1951-80 with Topps, Bowman and '63 Fleer- no dupes and no rookies, but scrapped it when I began focusing more on prewar.
Here's a list of worthy cards from my perspective-- I tried to keep players on teams where they were best or very well known, and with poses I liked:
I'd be interested in seeing your list.
