Official NFL HOF autograph set thread???

Puppeluv · December 25, 2014 4:25AM

Hah! That was on my Christmas list...I didn't get it. As usual I'll have to do my own Christmas shopping this year. And I was especially good too!

Plenty of excellent additions to members collections this year as usual! Looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings to everyone .
I came close to checking off a couple of HOF ers, but am still at 10. Well, 11. Strahan.But that's ok, I manage to complete a Championship squad or two and it was the year of the signed RC!
Would like to hear what was everybody s favorite pickup of the year
Btw raiderguy : Will get together some items and PM you on the PSA submission.

Here's wishing everyone a safe & Merry Christmas !

Catman · December 25, 2014 4:39AM

My pickups were no where in the area of most of you guys but thanks to Raiderguy10 (Derrick) I picked up a Len Ford. I also picked up a 65 full Hall of Fame game ticket and a 77 to improve my ticket collection. I have everyone including the two toughest a PSA Mint 9 1962 ticket and a 1970. I'm down to needing 13 or 14 for my HOF collection. I also picked up a nice Typed letter signed by Don Coryell. Merry Xmas to everyone and a healthy and prosperous new year.

cfhofer · December 25, 2014 4:48AM

Merry Christmas guys. Hope we all can cross a few off our wantlists during the coming year.

raiderguy10 · December 25, 2014 5:12AM

Still waiting for jsa to show off my pickup 😡

Puppeluv · December 25, 2014 6:29AM

Yes- let's see. Close out the year in style...!

revmoran · December 25, 2014 8:36AM

Merry Christmas to everyone - I'm waiting on PSA to return this ticket - hope it's a winner! Best Wishes for 2015!

Favorite pick up of 2104

raiderguy10 · December 25, 2014 8:45AM

I can post what will come since it won't make it by year end. This was jsa certified and Jeffrey made the custom of course. Normally I'm a psa guy but rather than spend $250 for psa to slab it, I chose the $20 bgs fee (although I did spend $10 more to have the autograph graded).

Merry Christmas everyone.

Also have this one being made as well

HOLY CRAP! That's a century worth of Christmas!

I love the Bidwell. Congrats.

cfhofer · December 27, 2014 6:16AM

Very cool pieces. Congrats!

GONEBATS · December 28, 2014 7:35AM

Love the Bidwell, Joe. When did you pick up this beauty? Happy New Year all, make that a healthy New Year also!

Not mine Craig, its Derrick's. The photos were reposted in the quote. On another matter, 6-10, but Odell may have saved Coughlin and Reese's fannies for another year.....

JMDVM · December 28, 2014 4:16PM

FYI, my Luckman photo that came back inconclusive from JSA, with Jimmy himself weighing in, just failed PSA as well.

GONEBATS · December 29, 2014 5:46AM

Rarely do I have expectations for our Giants, but I am looking forward to 2015. I can't wait for Eli to Beckham, Cruz and Randell. Build the defensive line and linebackers with a new defensive coordinator? See how free agency and the draft goes and I have a good feeling about the Giants and 2015! Still love Derrick's Bidwell. Some day?

BigRed7 · December 29, 2014 8:19AM

For the Hall of Fame Collectors out there, here is a great set in the upcoming Huggins and Scott Auction.

Rocke is offering his #16/100 Goal Line Art Gold Set.

I know you and Rocke have tried to keep track, How many of these sets do you believe are unbroken?

I have 49 by my count, but I haven't been paying attention of late.

alifaxwa2 · January 5, 2015 1:15PM

hi

cfhofer · January 10, 2015 2:18AM

Hunt Auction has an amazing Pollard signed photo listed. Hope someone here picks it up.

Cheers

Mark

JMDVM · January 12, 2015 1:57PM

The consignor is an antique dealer from PA who had it listed on Ebay in early July opening bid $1500, BIN $2500. Almost made a bid but he had no knowledge of JSA or PSA when I asked if I could return it if it flunked either one. Should have just bought it and let Paypal back me up if it flunked. He decided to drive it to Hunt's. Hunt had it on display at the National after JSA passed it. Rod looked at it, said I should have rolled the dice....oh well. I'm already outbid a $2K....The dealer said he bought it from an African American that collected historical items related to black history.

JMDVM · January 14, 2015 3:19PM

Pollard's next bid needs to be $3358......

cfhofer · January 14, 2015 8:03PM

I won't be surprised if it sells for over $7000.

JMDVM · January 16, 2015 9:38AM

Me neither. And I will be haunted for not doing the BIN when I had the chance......No Guts,No Glory!

JMDVM · January 24, 2015 10:42AM

Did anyone here get the 1936 Packers program signed by Lambeau and Kiesling among others? It was an $8000 BIN/best offer and it sold.

FootballHOFCollector · January 25, 2015 6:38AM

I was watching the Packers program also and was surprised it went for only $4,000. At that price I would have gone for it.

Jayhawk90 · January 25, 2015 12:50PM

There is a Joe Carr letter on eBay for only $35K. If they get close to that mine'll be up next.

Ullr · January 25, 2015 2:20PM

Auction spam

Listed some coach and administrator cards today. Some blue flips and raw, but most are slabbed with red flips. Nothing of interest for the regulars in this thread, but if there are any lurkers here starting a set check it out. Thanks

Puppeluv · January 25, 2015 4:08PM

So there have been some REALLY nice items available lately...here's hoping some members here picked them up.
Especially the Pollard photo - a beauty ! The one that caught my eye from that auction was the early Lombardi signed card while at Fordham, along with his line mates. At any rate they were out of my price range. As is the Joe Carr letter. Funny thing about that Carr letter...I'm pretty sure I was the second highest bidder on that letter to Bert Bell about 18 years or so ago. If its the same one I lost out to a 1300. bid !I bet they will come down a little on that 35k.....
On the plus side for me I finally caught up with a Len Ford signature . There were a couple of opportunities that fell through in the last year or so, but this puts me at 10 guys I still need !
Well, 11 as I didn't count Strahan. Its been a year and I still haven't picked him up !
I also completed the roster of the Super Bowl IV Chiefs in the same week . A sentimental favorite actually as it was Len Dawson and Nick Buoniconti who provided some great back story on retired players during their 'Inside the NFL " run with HBO.
At any rate, a good start to the year for me !

JMDVM · January 27, 2015 11:25AM

I believe that is Albersheim who is listing the Carr letter. Look at what the 2 Carr letters did in Huggins and Scott and I think you have the more realistic value. The Lambeau/Keisling program sold for only $4K? You are lucky if you can get 10% of any "Make Offer", but 50%? Incredible.

raiderguy10 · January 31, 2015 12:20AM

What time /channel is today's announcement on?

Puppeluv · January 31, 2015 2:49AM

I believe at 4:30 on NFL Network. There was not a specific listing on my Directv guide as of 2days ago. Weird, right? Just generic " Super Bowl Live " programming.

Edit* Its to be announced during the NFL Honors special on NBC but that is tape delay. Look for an announcement - live most likely , on ESPN around 3:30 - 4

Ps - I'm happy to say I was mistaken last week about the number of guys I still need. Down to single digits with 9 members left. I still need Strahan - that does put it at 10, but I'm not really going to count that...

alifaxwa2 · January 31, 2015 10:29AM

Seeing on Twitter that Bettis and Ron Wolf made it. Haven't found any more.

raiderguy10 · January 31, 2015 10:35AM

I've also heard haley and polian. Brown better get his due, getting sick of it

raiderguy10 · January 31, 2015 10:53AM

Seau, Bettis, Haley, Shields, BROWN!!!!!, Tingelhoff, Wolf, Polian

Reese3333 · January 31, 2015 11:13AM

As a Colts fan I'm very happy to see Bill Polian get inducted, but can't believe Marvin was passed AGAIN! Hopefully he gets the nod next year.

fernandezsouz · January 31, 2015 11:25AM

WOW!!!! Haley finally!!! Sad Warner didn't do it, maybe next year!!! But I am extremely happy about Haley!!!

Puppeluv · January 31, 2015 5:14PM

Congrats to this year's inductees. Here is one GREAT class !
I'm sure no one can really look at these guys and not think the Hall is represented well. All deserving - some overdue ( freaking finally Raiderguy ! ) and I'm personally glad to see Haley inducted. The Bay Area is represented pretty well.
A little surprised Warner didn't get in. Just a little.
And I have all these guys so even better !

wju2004 · February 1, 2015 1:05AM

I honestly can't say I'm surprised by Warner not getting in. I really just did not see him at first ballot material. More surprised by Pace not getting in than Warner.

And finally happy to see Bettis get in. I just might have to make the trip for a day or two this year. Wish I had the cash right now for even the Bronze package, but sadly, I just do not right now. I might see about getting tickets for the induction ceremony and then for the autograph sessions. The game is nice and all, but not really why I want to go, of course.

Sadly, I am missing quite a few of this glass. (Thanks to Derrick for the Polian, though.) Just need to find a Tingelhoff from 06 UD Legends and a Haley from Proline, then it's just a waiting game as usual. I am still waiting to get Humphrey and Williams from last year, but once Panini releases the class from last year like they do every year, I will be able to cross those two off my list.

Catman · February 2, 2015 11:13PM

I'm surprised about Pace, I figure he will be in next year. Thanks to Derrick I have my Polian and Wolf. The only one I still need for this class is a Shields.

JMDVM · February 3, 2015 3:35PM

The Fritz Pollard signed photo sold for $6500----not sure if that included the fee.

JMDVM · February 9, 2015 2:24PM

Bump, thread is going to fall off the page.

Puppeluv · February 9, 2015 3:29PM

RIP Big Ed Sabol. I believe the oldest member of the Hall and pretty good signer TTM considering the glut he must have had for his signature when elected a few years ago. Myself included. Truth be told NFL Films gave moving pictures to the books and photographs of the games before my time. A big thanks Ed !

Also, a pretty comprehensive signed 1953 Bowman set is being auctioned off on ebay through Jim Stinson.
Was wondering if it was someone on here. some very nice cards - inc. a Bob Smith card that went for 450.+ ! Clearly for specific signed set builders. I guess, I mean a 3rd year Lions player? I was looking for him for a Championship set I am working but kinda figured I was in the minority there !
Some nice HOFers are still there..

JMDVM · February 11, 2015 12:38PM

Here we go again---a JSA lettered Sid Luckman GLA has been listed on Ebay by Headline Sports.....BIN $2499.99. I guess $2500 would be a marketing turn off......

BigRed7 · February 12, 2015 7:57PM

<< For the Hall of Fame Collectors out there, here is a great set in the upcoming Huggins and Scott Auction.

Rocke is offering his #16/100 Goal Line Art Gold Set.

http://hugginsandscott.com/cgi-bin/showitem.pl?itemid=81354 >>

Set sold for $17,900 with buyers premium included.

JMDVM · February 13, 2015 10:59AM

And I'm the winner, unexpectedly. Didn't want to see Rocke "lose" his set to a dealer. Never thought my bid would hold.

fernandezsouz · February 13, 2015 11:06AM

WOOOOOW!!!!
Contrats!!!! Great addition to your collection.
I would loved to be able to bid, but it is certainly really above my comfort zone!!!

Fabfrank · February 13, 2015 11:43AM

Congrats on the win JMDVM

Puppeluv · February 13, 2015 6:59PM

Nice ! Congratulations to both of you - an outstanding pickup for JMDVM & a pretty nice realized price for you Rocke ! I'm kind of curious how many complete Gold sets are still together?
Rocke for some reason I thought you had some insight to this . Is there a registry ?
Anyway Joe- in for a dime in for a dollar: time to pony up an extra 2500and pick up that Luckman I know you want, LOL! Corner the market on Sids GLA' s!
I want to know who picked up Lombardis West Point sweater...

JMDVM · February 14, 2015 5:55AM

Thanks for the congrats, but it wasn't my intention to win Rocke's set since I already have my own. I was trying to help him out thinking that if I did win, I'd like to sell one back to him one day, the sooner the better. Heck, I'd even trade it back to him if he was willing to give me stuff out of his collection that I need. So I'm playing the role of "pawn broker". I was in the middle of selling off some of my FB and BB card sets and using the money to upgrade my favorite sets......Guess that project will be put on hold. And if anyone would like to buy a fully graded 1961 Topps Baseball set, GPA 7.4, its yours for $11,600 shipped!
