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.

I can't think of any myself but the lowest print run I can think of is Jay Ratliff /699 and that is his only rookie.

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 😉.
"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.

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

Extremely surprised that two from the senior nominations didn’t make it. I would’ve been less surprised if McMichael was one of them. A bit of a flop this year.

I looked at a number of sites and tweets and the senior list was different on every one. Only Powell didn’t make it. Gradishar and McMichael did. Right? 😂
I’m more surprised Gates didn’t get in. Then I was seeing “banned substances” and I don’t remember that at all.
Gates and Powell not getting in was an absolute joke.

Looks like the new HOF guys were removed from the HOF Future sets but haven't quite made it into the HOF set. Is anyone expecting anything other than a weight of 1 for these guys?
From what I've read, that's pretty unlikely. For some unknown reason, they lumped the contributors and coaches in with the seniors, and only 3 can make it combined. After all the work they did to help clear the backlog of senior HOF candidates, this is a real head-scratcher.

Long time lurker on this board as I've been building this set over the past 3 years. (At #34 I'm making progress, but what some of you guys have built is amazing!) Though I've never posted, I've learned a lot from all of your posts and spirited debates over the years. Thank you to everyone one who has posted! But now a question...
With Marshall Yanda potentially going in to the hall, which card will be his rookie card for the set? I have his 2015 Topps card, which is the Future HOF Rookie Set, but I'm wondering if it will / should be the 2015 Topps Gold since it's a number card and only has 2015 printed?
I guess the same could be asked if Jahri Evans gets in. I have both the 2010 Topps and the 2010 Topps Gold, (which only has 2010 copies printed). With the limited number (but over 1,000 printed & higher price), shouldn't the Gold version be the card? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.
@seanc80 Welcome and thanks for bumping this thread!
Generally the future HOF card is what makes it into the HOF set upon induction. There have been some w captions with cards that were in the “all-time” sets, Terrell Davis, Reggie White, Jim Kelly immediately come to mind, but I can’t think of an example where the spec in the future set is different than the final HOF card that gets added. Maybe someone will correct me.
The card in the Future HOF RCs set is 100% the card that will (right or wrong) be chosen for the HOF RCs set. This comes straight from PSA.
"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.

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
I like Kuechly over Vinatieri. I can’t see a kicker getting in first ballot and I don’t think Manning is first ballot either but I do think he eventually gets in. Wayne is deserving as well. I’m not sure if I lean towards him or Holt. I’m more curious who the seniors will be. Do Sharpe or Baughan get in?
If Wayne doesn't make it, I'll say Vinatieri instead.

Adam Rank just put out his predictions for the HOF this year; Vinatieri, Holt, Kuechly, Gates and Manning.
I still think Manning waits a year and one of the OL gets in (Yanda, Anderson or Evans) and after more thought on it, I think Wayne over Holt this year. While I think Vinatieri is deserving, perhaps even as a first ballot special teamer, I don't think the voters are ready to do that just yet.
The senior list is just as interesting given Powell was on it last year and didn't make it and now isn't even a finalist. Do they put Baughan or Sharpe in? Sharpe doesn't feel like HOF to me and I know very little about Baughan. I keep waiting for @shagrotn77 to give us the leak.
Ha. They were great about preventing leaks for a few years in a row prior to last year. I believe all of the inductees were leaked before that dreadful awards show. I wouldn't expect any leaks until the meeting concludes tomorrow (early afternoon I assume).

All I've heard so far is that Eli did NOT make it this year.

Maxie Baughan, Darren Woodson and Willie Anderson also not in. No word yet (as far as I know) on who is in. The voters are clueless to let Baughan get this close and not vote him in. He's LOOOONNNGG overdue.
"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.

Only 3 of the senior finalists/coach finalist/contributor finalists can make it.

0 AP1 or AP2 and 0 MVP votes according to Twitter. Does have the helmet catch and beating Brady twice in the Super Bowl.
Most important stat for Eli - Beating Brady twice in the Super Bowl
Other important stat = last name is "Manning"
Nada so far.
All I've heard so far is that Eli did NOT make it this year.
Maxie Baughan, Darren Woodson and Willie Anderson also not in. No word yet (as far as I know) on who is in. The voters are clueless to let Baughan get this close and not vote him in. He's LOOOONNNGG overdue.
Strange. They did this to Art Powell
Last year too. Holmgren must’ve got in. If no Maxie does that mean Sharpe gets in?
Only 3 of the senior finalists/coach finalist/contributor finalists can make it.
I completely forgot about Hay and Tyrer 🤦♂️
What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!
