I sure love looking at all these HOFers rookie cards. This is one set I would really like to do. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and start.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
The McCovey I purchased from BBCE. It looks great in hand, the only thing I can find as a reason why it was graded so low, is a small wrinkle near one of the corners.
You're right - that is a killer McCovey. Tough card to find with such stellar centering. Congrats!

Paul.... Fantastic pickups on the Molly and McCovey. The Molly is really clean and McCovey is centered beautifully. I've started to do this set again, but only with first ballot HOFers.
I'm not sure if I've shown this card, but it's one of my favs.

Andy and Jay I appreciate your comments on the Brett.
Jay..... I'm only doing the first ballot HOFers because I don't want to collect guys like the Bert Blyleven, Bruce Sutter ect, but continue to do the registry without spending more money then I need to on guys I wouldn't normally collect.

Love what u like and collect the same. Me also. On the bright side u don't need to get a Jack Morris card just in case.
Rules out many of the PED guys also.
Was wondering if U like Cal's traded vs reg Topps. I believe the Traded is not the registry card. Personally I like the Traded much better Other than Maddux I can't say anyone else will be a 1st ballot coming up.

Your first ballot HOFers is a good idea. I wonder if you could make it it's own registry? While I'm doing the whole set, I'm not too worried about getting those "other guys" in high grade.
For the guys who are coming up for election soon, you can add Pedro's name to that list too, Bobby. I also wouldn't be shocked to see Frank Thomas get in with Maddux and Glavine. He was never associated with steroids, and he certainly put up first-ballot type numbers.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
It's such a rich yerar for HOF talent all mentioned could easily be 1st ballot. All will get in for sure. There are more than 4 1st ballot type guys.
I mentioned only Maddux since he's a no brainer. Maybe a high % of the vote reciever from 2013 gets in? Biggio and Bags were close. Maybe some feelings for do or die Morris? Does Glavine gotta go in with Cox? Who knows
The one good thing is most of us are doing the future HOF set so we already have the cards....
I just checked...have not in about a year...there is a 1st ballot HOF set already. Our old friend Matt Miller is doing it

I just started the 1st Ballot HoFer set... Still going to complete both, but now I can focus on one and then the other..... At least I'll try to be focused
I'm not sure why the '49 Bowman Jackie Robinson card is part of the First Ballot HOF set when his '48/'49 Leaf is clearly is best rookie. I hate inconsistencies like this.

<< <i>I'm not sure why the '49 Bowman Jackie Robinson card is part of the First Ballot HOF set when his '48/'49 Leaf is clearly is best rookie. I hate inconsistencies like this. >>
Andy.... I couldn't agree with you more on this. Even though Cal Ripken's topps traded is the better card his Topps card is the one that should be in this set as well. I believe the same goes with Span and Musial with the bowman. I'm not sure who requested this set for the registry, which was a great idea but they should have used the cards in the Post War HOF set.
"EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE ON THE WALL" - JACKIE MOON
Bobby Spahn and Musial are 1948 cards for the set. Both have Leaf and Bowman RC's. What Andy is saying and technically he is right....why 49 bowman on some of the players when the card is supposed to be the most valuable true RC. The 48 Leafs are far more valuable than Bowman. George Kell and Larry Doby do not even have 48 bowman cards but have 48 leafs.
So keep scratching your heads.
I heard there was something about the release time of 49 bowman cards...not sure

Jay, From what I know about the '48 Leaf cards, they actually released them in late 1948 Nov or Dec or early 1949. I feel the '48 Bowman for Spahn and Musial are there true rookie cards. I wish there was consistency with the original post war hof set with the post war 1st ballot set. It's a nice debate either way.
BTW just picked this card up today for my set
"EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE ON THE WALL" - JACKIE MOON
Love this thread! I started my PSA HOF RC PC a few years ago. I was actually a big time high end auto rookie colector of the modern & current players. When Strasburg went down, i sold all(75-80) of those & funded a good portion of this PC. It made more sense to invest and collect hall of fame rookies than rookies of today who we hope make it years from now. I have since added to the chase.
MY PC consists of PSA HOF RCs...also included are managers, future HOFs(some IMO), & the "would be if not for PED" guys too.
1980-present are all PSA 10s Exceptions: 80' Henderson(9), 82' TT Ripken(9), 93' SP Jeter(8.5), 94' SP Arod(9)
Mgr RC cards--80' Larussa(10)
1970-79 all PSA 8s Non HOF- 78' Morris(8), 77' Murphy(8) Exceptions: 71' Blyleven(7.5)
Glavine is '88 Score. The others you listed are correct. You can always reference the Future HOF set if you're unsure about key rookie card.

<< <i>Anyone have any idea on when Glavine, Maddox, and Thomas get added to the registry set? >>
Probably within a day or two. I e-mailed Gayle about it yesterday, and she's normally very quick with the additions.
