carkim

BJ,

I have no input on the set you listed...But I wanted to take this chance to say THANK YOU for all that you do.


YOU'RE THE BEST

Carlos

BJ

Gee Whiz Carlos! You just made my day! Thank you so much.

RobE

BJ I don't know if it matters but Willie McCovey and Fergie Jenkins had played longer than you list for the years that follow their names.

Thats about all I noticed so far.

Other than that sounds great!

crazysc

Looks like a great list. Just a few thoughts for consistancy:

1) Might make sense to include the year after the players retired as well - for instance, a 69 Mantle, 73 Clemente, etc are all "real" cards issued during their playing days. Then again, most players affected by this will have plenty of other options for cards.

2) I know there has to be a cutoff, but would 1915-16 be better to include the Cracker Jacks and M101 sets? Specially thinking of Comisky, probably his most available card is the 14-15 Cracker Jacks.

But it looks like a fun list for people to work on...would they be weighted differently based on the type of card used (i.e. more weight for a 52T Mantle vs. 68T?)

qualitycards

That would be one awesome set to complete. I had worked on the initial Hall Of Fame set and it was quite easy to use any cards to fill the holes like a 1960 Fleer for Cap Anson, a 1950 Callahan for Dan Brouthers or a 1966 (manager card) for Billy Herman. But this compilation looks like the real deal. Great work BJ, I too appreciate all you've done for the registry and all the help you've given me...jay

BJ

Rob - Do you know what the play years were for McCovey and Jenkins?

Crazysc - I don't mind adding the year after retirement for certain players, but I would need a list. Can you provide?

I don't have a problem extending those early players to 1916. Unfortunately, this set can't be weighted under our current parameters. This is why any HOF set that does not require specific cards isn't weighted. This is why if any HOF set is to be considered for a plaque award in the 2003 Set Registry awards this year, the judges will be looking at the cards within each HOF set, not just at the GPA.

crazysc

These are the players I'd add a "retirement" year to their totals. There may be others, but none with significant cards...

BJ - McCovey played 1959-1980 & Jenkins 1965-1983...jay

Vargha

I would add the 1948-49 Leaf cards of Ruth and Wagner as well as the 1940 Play Ball card of Shoeless Joe, just off the top of my head.

crazysc

And David, where did I miss the election of Shoeless Joe?

FB

BJ,

Didn't Eddie Murray get elected in 2003 along with Gary Carter?

Tipem

It just happened and public sentiment is that we are glad that it did. Rose is next.


Vic

helionaut

Off the top of my head here are some changes. I'd extend the time frame on these players, at least, to include their "final cards" as they are in the individual registries (if any):

Mickey Mantle - 1969
Joe Morgan - 1985
Sandy Koufax - 1967
Willie McCovey - 1981
Richie Ashburn - 1963
Nolan Ryan - 1994

Add:
2003 Eddie Murray 1978-1998

Don Sutton's in there twice, under 1997 and 1998. He was elected in 1998. His last cards look like 1988, which was his last playing year.

And Frank Robinson's last regular card is generally accepted as the 1975 Topps, no?

RobE

Also to add to your list helionaut. Bench has a card from 84 and Lou Brock has the first card in the 1980 set for making it to 3000 which he shares with Yaz.I believe that is his final card after a regular issued card from 1979.

Vargha

And David, where did I miss the election of Shoeless Joe?


D'oh! That must been the "Hall" in my noggin.

SportsCardMan

I believe this website will help you with your Hall of Fame set as well as any set that anyone could possibly want to put together. It will not help with the cards, but it will help with years played. etc.
