has anyone done this (or tried to in thier collection)

bongo870 · Jan 11, 2013

I thought it would be cool to have all the autos of every Phillies hall of famers. (the ones who went in as a Phillies). I have alot.. Carlton....Schmidt....Roberts....Bunning....But i need Asburn,Billy Hamilton,Chuck Klein,Sam Thompson,Harry Wright.. Now the Ashburn I can do but alot are from 1890's and so forth.

Anyone done there fave team?

At some point in my life...want to work on Yankees...luckily that's probably the easiest and least expensive to do...

AmishDave · Jan 11, 2013

Marlins, Rockies, Devil Rays & Diamondbacks should be fairly easy to complete.

homerun28aa · Jan 11, 2013

But in regards to your post Ashburn, Klein, and Hamilton would for sure be doable I don't think they're too expensive. I don't know Sam Thompson and not sure the market for Harry Wright but I'm pretty sure he's a toughie. Not positive

I did my fave team, it was tough, but I persevered!!

rebelpawn · Jan 11, 2013

I did it for the Rays. It was tough but well worth the effort.

I have all of the Mariners that are in the HOF.

waintrain · Jan 11, 2013

I'd love to have an auto of each Cardinal Retired Number.

So far have:
Ozzie Smith (Ball)
Red Schoendienst (Ball)
Stan Musial (Ball)
Enos Slaughter ('52 Archives JSA/DNA)
Tony La Russa (Ball)
Lou Brock (Panini Century Patch /25)
Whitey Herzog (Ball)
Bob Gibson (Ball)

I'd need:
Ken Boyer (Passed)
Dizzy Dean (Passed)
Bruce Sutter
Rogers Hornsby (Passed)

That's not including Jack Buck and Gussie Busch.

Re: has anyone done this (or tryed to in there collection)

I doubt you will ever find a Harry Wright. Many of the guys that died pre 1960 are just not available on balls. Legit examples are few and far between. The cost of ball back then, the fact people didn't collect autographs in the late 1800's and that when a ball was used back then the goal was to get as many signatures as possible on it are all factors working against you. Most of these rare single signed balls you see in auctions are bullXXXX. There are more fakes than real examples of most of the early hall of famers.

The Pads only have 2. Gwynn and Winfield. I already have a Gwynn so I'm half way there!

Would love to do this with the Reds. I had a thought the other day about the possibility of having HOF plaque remakes in a man cave. Anyone ever tried this or know a company that makes them. I don't have the funds to have them made now but would look sweet to have in a Reds man cave in the future. Sorry for being off topic

bongo870 · Jan 11, 2013

I know what you are saying. So many fakes. Thats why i mainly only buy certified. But those few from 1890's will be next to impossible. Thanks Phillies for being such a old team. LOL

I have thought about collecting the Yankees retired number autographs. On top of being expensive, there are just too many fakes out there of guys like Ruth and Gehrig to justify me spending that kind of money on any autograph.

I have an extra Jack Buck 3x5

I am working on getting every Twins player on an OMLB.

It's a project I will never complete. In the process, I'll add the HOFers as well.

My grandpa's brother was managed by Rogers Hornsby in the minors. He said he was the biggest dick ever. Never explained why.

Those are AWESOME! That reminded me of the Topps Tribute Legendary Lineups cut booklet of the 1934 Team w/ Frisch, Medwick, Dean, etc. That was a SICK card!
