McMichael, Gradishar and Powell. That last one was a surprise. Who has a nicely-centered PSA 8 or better '61 Powell for me?

@shagrotn77 I am also in the same boat. I have been actively looking for his card the last 6 months with no luck. My brother picked up a nice 7 a few days ago.
Man this is a grind! I've been chasing stuff for 3 years to build up my set again and I'm only in the 60's. I'm going to need to flip some of this modern stuff to fund this.

Such a tough call with so many deserving players for just 5 spots. I gotta think that Peppers and Gates will make it first time around. And I also think they'll clear some of the logjam at WR. I'll go with Wayne and Holt, but AJ is equally deserving. For the last spot, I'll go Hester, though that would make for only defensive player being inducted. Will be an interesting vote for sure!

I don’t think I’d throw a fit if any of the remaining players made it. I think it’s time they cleared some of the WR’s though. I wonder if they will start looking at the RB position differently too. Hard to put up great numbers for several years with the 2 back system in a throwing league. It also makes it more difficult to distinguish the great WR’s with the HOF WR’s, especially across multiple decades.

My best guess is peppers, gates, Willis and 2 of the WRs. I hope I’m wrong and Harrison gets in.
Given that this is Harrison's first time as a finalist, he would seem to be quite a long shot. You never know, though.

Sounds like Steve McMichael has made it.
I think clarification is needed. He's one of three finalists selected by the senior committee as a nominee for the HOF. Though most finalists eventually make it at some point, those selected still need 80% of the vote by the regular HOF selection committee. Voting takes place at the annual meeting just before the Super Bowl.
I can’t imagine him not making after being selected as a finalist by the Senior Committee. It has been a long while since a finalist hasn’t received the votes from the selection committee. As always, I look forward to hearing the final results in February.
With just 2 pro bowls I can't imagine how he ever even gets considered. I watched FB thru the time he played and not once ever heard his name mentioned.

I think he was a poor nomination and I’m sure his health played into it. I feel there were many other qualified candidates that the nomination would’ve been better suited for.

Peppers and Gates are locks. I could see at the least, one of those receivers making it if not both. Willis is going in either this year or next with Kuechly coming up next year for the first time.
My condolences to anyone who was looking to pick up an Art Powell 8 for a reasonable price before he gets elected next month. This one shocked the heck out of me!

@shagrotn77 I was watching that as well and was just as shocked! I have a couple ungraded that are in the 5-7 range. I am kicking myself for not buying a 7 for $30 back in March. I thought I had time to pick one up.

I was also watching that one. I thought it might hit $400. I found a 6.5 for $12 locally back in November. I figured that would end up being a steal. I have another raw one that is borderline 6/7 that I paid a lot more for.
This question is more towards the All Time and All Pro Sets, but when a player has only 3 rookies and 2 are autos and the other is /99 which one would get selected? I know we usually go w/ the unsigned base but /99 seems very limited. Thanks in advance!

Interesting. I have a set in almost all the football sets (all time/pro bowl/hof) and the lowest numbered card I can think of is /999. I can’t think of any autos off the top of my head.

Likely one of the autos. This will be set when someone tries to add a card first in this day in age.
Isn't Justin Tucker's only rookie card an auto? And why is it so darn expensive???

For those of you who dislike the NFL Awards shows as much as I do, the HOF leaks have started rolling in. This is a bit of a surprise because they've been super tight-lipped about who was getting in before the announcement the last years. Alas, I know that Devin Hester, Julius Peppers and Steve McMichael are in. The last 2 should come as a surprise to no one. Hester may surprise a few, but he was on my list 😉.

Willis is in. Jared Allen is out. Continuing to track the leaks.
