Starting a HOF PC...

maryvillereb2003 · May 14, 2011

My initial goal was to collect a GU of every HOF member but have since thought autographs and game used would be a better choice.

I have tried to do just a HOF GU collection but ended up having to sell it.

here is my start

Great pickups to start it off....And if you prospect too you can sell at the right time to buy more HOF Autos/Patches! That's what I will be doing once the guys I invest in get up to the big leagues! :mrgreen:

thanks man

I will definitely be prospecting this offseason, i should probably pick some up for impending callups as well.

if you really wanna do this right, I would avoid sticker autos.

plenty of hard-signed HOF stuff out there.

thanks for the advice guys, i dont mind stickers if i like the card, i love the leaf certified autos like the banks

ChasHawk · May 15, 2011

That Banks really is a nice card

I have a lot of DLP sticker autos that I like. Just pointing out that there are many HOF auto sets that are on-card.

Looking VERY good so far dude!!! I think long term you should slowly get closer towards on card...overtime they will appreciate in value thanks to all the stickers out alone. I have no hate for stickers, and I know a few brands are forced with them even thought the cards are SWEET (ie: DLP, Absolute, etc.). You can always trade out your cards down the road as well. I have been working on the HOF GU checklist as well and find it helpful to pick up something I don't have if it is cheap (at the LCS or local show) to close the checklist, but then I can always have something to shop for to better up if I ever come across gaps of not finding anything

You could also just try to find the coolest or best card that you can afford for each player.

For example you could get a cool patch+auto card for some of the more modern players, a RC for some of the players from the 50's/60's/70's, and a game used card for the guys like Ruth or Cobb.

That may be a bit disjointed for some people. But I often find when I try to limit myself, I end up not buying cool cards that I would like to have in my collection, only because they don't fit into a specific focus. Having a card that I loved for each player would be more fun then being able to say that I had a gu card of every hofer.

Let me know if I can help you out in any way. I'm 11 cards away from completing my HOF game used collection (A GU from every HOFer that has one - jerseys if they have a jersey, bats otherwise).

maryvillereb2003 · May 15, 2011

thanks guys, glad i made this thread, lots of good advice. jeff i really like your idea of getting a card i like for each player, whether its gu or auto etc.

Hint pick up your Larkin autos early, he has been in top 5 in voting in past 2-3 years. Jack Morris and Lee Smith also were in top 7 in voting those years aswell.

I have a spreadsheet I made documenting all HOFers w/ a game used card (broken down by jersey and bat). PM me if you want it.....
