Baseball hall of Famers wanted

ssdawg77 · March 3, 2008 10:56AM

I am new to this board and to psa collecting. I have been collecting baseball cards on and off for twenty years. I have never wanted the hottest cards or the popular cards, I have always searched for the cards of players I enjoyed to watch and those that I have heard such amazing stories about. I have decided to try and build a collection of cards for baseball hall of famers and a few others that I like. The collection will consist of cards from 1950 to 2005 for hofers between that period. I am trying to collect a players career in cards from every major brand for each year (no inserts, all star, ll, rb, game used or autos-- just base cards). I know this is a monumental task and one I will probably never complete but it is a task my son and I have been working on for about a year. If anyone can point me in a good direction for reasonably priced cards (grades are not important, as some can be way out of my price range) I would greatly appreciate it as well as any pointers or tips that I should be aware of when buying graded cards.

Thanks
Stoney

I'm sure some of us on the board can help out. I don't have any graded cards, but have plenty of recent HOFers base cards. If you're looking for anything like that, let me know, and we can work something out. Good luck!
