Heisman Trophy Winners Registry?

I have recently started to add Heisman Trophy winners to my collections and am thinking about trying to get a Registry for this going...

First off, besides myself, does anyone think that this is an interesting collection to pursue???

and second, what sort of suggestions can you offer to making it work??? Would it be better to go after only the rookie card or any card of that player...and also there are some Heisman Trophy winners who don't even have a card...

any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated...

thanks

Andrew

    I like it. As you mentioned though, there are a lot of Heisman winners, particularly the early ones, who never had a card. Will you set it up like the HOF Players set, so that any card will count, or just RCs? It would be a shame to see a bunch of those dime-a-dozen Heisman Collection cards on there.

    I would definitely be up for it. IMHO we should go for RCs if possible, otherwise there is really no way to have a weighted list. The NON-Weighted lists should be reserved for the yearly sets only, not the all-time or HOF type lists.

    I submitted a Super Bowl MVP Registry set today along with the complete RC list (weighted of course). Interestingly enough Dexter Jackson, the latest MVP, has NO card. Yet he was a rookie in 1999. I guess 2003 will be his RC. LOL

    Anything football is a good thing..

    Wouldn't you have to also mix sports? Bo Jackson played baseball and football. Charlie Ward went from the Heisman Trophy to the NBA. I guess his card would be a Basketball Card.

    I have only weighed yearly sets, never a player set...

    if we go with only the rookie card of the Heisman, for the players like Ron Dayne that have 100 rookies cards, would it be set up that any of the 100 would count with a weighing of 1, or would 1 of the 100 be selected ahead of time, and that is the one everyone needs to get?

    well for the Bo Jackson and Vic Janowicz, they both have football and baseball cards...would we want to pursue a card in both sports???

    There are six Heisman winners with no regular issued cards: Larry Kelly, Clint Frank, Pete Dawkins, Joe Bellino, Terry Baker and Gary Beban...and then of course there is the Charlie Ward issue...

    for those interested or those who have some experience in how to handle these issues, I appreciate any insight that you may be able to provide...

    thanks, Andrew

    I have a registered HOF player set. That set is not weighted yet, and I have heard that the weight will be matched accordingly to SMR in the PSA 8 grade.

    In any event, Ron Dayne would, most likely be a 1 where a Johnny Lujack may be an 8 ....

    I would contact MikeSchmidt aka Marc - he is the Man when it comes to these things.

    Send me an email in regards to the 86 Rose PSA 9 - NKane9@aol.com

    Good Luck in any event

    In similar situations, it's always been set up so that only one RC is on the list. BJ told someone in another thread that their software will not allow an "or" function for cards from different sets. So, you'd have to pick one card and go with that one. See the HOF RC thread for a long discussion on this.

    For Jackson, Janowicz, and Ward, my opinion is that their football RCs should be used since the Heisman is a football award and these guys all have legitimate football RCs.

    Joe,

    If I understand your statement correctly, I think you are mistaken. Check out the Baseball HOF set. You can enter any card of any player listed.

    Jeb,
    That's because that's an unweighted set where any card of the player is eligible. If the Heisman set is going to be weighted and RC-only, they'll have to specify a card in their database. It all depends on how it ends up being set up I guess.

    OK, just spoke to BJ, and if the set is going to be weighed, then a specific card has to be chosen...it cannot be an "or"

    so the question is, how do we want to go about picking what, Ricky Williams or Eddie George for example, rookie card to choose??? Do we want to try and be consistent and pick something like Topps Chrome for all the newer cards, or pick the most desireable standard issue(non insert) card for each player???

    Do we use USFL rookies or Topps for Walker, Rozier and Flutie???

    I am asking because I want to get a consensus before I get this put together...

    Andrew,
    We've had a very similar discussion for the HOF RC set. The consensus is basically the highest valued RC in PSA 8 should be the one in the set. So for Ricky Williams it would be SPx ( I think, I didn't check them all), and for the USFL guys it would be their USFL RCs.
