Anyone collect the yellow Autographed HOF Plaque Postcards?

Topnotchsy · Sep 23, 2009

I picked up a whole bunch of these recently, and they seem like a nice way to get some HOF signatures for very reasonable prices. I was just wondering if anyone collected these. (No scans, sorry as I have not received them yet.)

I have 4 Yogi Berras one musial and a few smaller names.

I have a few but I'm always looking for more. I like them because they look nice and they're quite affordable.

I have a bunch of autographed HOF plaque postcards of players I sent to TTM in the '80s.
Old school guys like Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Bill Terry, Lou Boudreau, Billy Herman, Enos Slaughter and many others.
I haven't scanned them yet, but I'll try to remember this weekend.

Sweet. I'll scan mine when I get them, but I'd love to see what you have.

I've got several...they look SHARP slabbed!

Incidentally, how does one get unsigned copies of these? They sell them at the Hall?

...and, sadly, many of these fine cards get butcher for "cut autograph" cards.

Back in the day ('80s) I ordered them for 25 cents each from the Hall of Fame.

Yes, there is a huge wall of these for sale at the HOF gift shop.

For the most part, these can be had cheap. But you would be amazed at the price that some of these go for when a player passes away soon after his induction...

Whats the best place to get unsigned versions of these online?

csmtampa · Sep 23, 2009

Call the BBHOF gift shop. They are .50 each

I noticed that. There's a couple of names on eBay with really high BIN's.

There are also older versions of these postcards. They've been around for a *long* time, and some collectors place a large premium on the older editions. They have been relatively similar from edition to edition, but I'm no expert...

A slabbed Goose Goslin index card can be had for 150. I saw a slabbed HOF postcard go for 2000+!

Fixed the second link. Sorry about that!
