Hall of Fame Collection

(Disclaimer: Don't forget to have a vote in the Ugstravaganza)

---------------------------------------------------

I finally have my Hall of Fame Project scanned and up to date. The goal is to have a card of every Hall of Famer, of which there are 306. This is a nice little project that I thought would be easy, yet is not. There are umpires, Negro Leaguers, and executives that will prove/have proven tough, especially those elected in the last decade. Though my effort hasn't been exactly diligent, I'll admit. It seems Panini is very slowly rolling out new cards of these guys with their Cooperstown and Golden Age sets, and that's where a lot have come from. But I see where it's tough to include Cumberland Posey when Ty Cobb will please the masses. Trusty old Conlon has done it's fair share of the work, I might add. But that's expected.

Right now, I'm up to 231 of the 306 needed. Putting them in order of induction, this includes 8 completed pages. So here they are. They look pretty good. As my only non-Reds album, it really stands out to me. Some thanks go out to Mark Hoyle, who sent me a bunch, and to 2x3 Heroes for a contest win that spurred this idea.
