I apologize if the picture comes out huge. Uploading directly from my phone. I'll go back through and try to get pictures of all of the other guys I have Ginters of.

I've got an auto, and a bobblehead- I still lack his RC and an auto'd baseball.

I've also got an auto'd 8x10, and a five star auto booklet- but no scans of them somehow.

How many members have you completed your collection of?

Ginters are my favorite to get signed. I have 25ish HOFers from 2013 signed. I don't know why, but for some reason I gravitated to that set. Probably because it had Paul Molitor, Bobby Doerr, and Jim Bunning who were all great TTM signers when I was really into TTM. Then I was able to get Rod Carew and Bert Blyleven signed IP at TwinsFest, and I've been hooked since

Many HOFers I have listed don't have one or more of the quartet that are reasonably possible for me (examples: Cy Young auto'd baseball or Addie Joss autograph or Ty Cobb RC).

However to answer your question, not counting vintage needs (so just the quartet of RC/Auto/Auto'd Baseball/Bobblehead; and of the ones that are possible for me to get all 4 items) I've completed:

Bobby Cox
Cal Ripken Jr.
Chipper Jones
Frank Thomas
Greg Maddux
Hank Aaron
John Smoltz
Ken Griffey Jr.
Tom Glavine


There are a lot of HOFers I am close on, but just lack 1 item.

Here's that list, if you or anyone else are interested:

Andre Dawson (bobblehead)
Eddie Murray (bobblehead)
Fergie Jenkins (bobblehead)
Frank Robinson (bobblehead)
Harmon Killebrew (bobblehead)
Ivan Rodriguez (Auto'd Baseball)
Phil Niekro (bobblehead)
Randy Johnson (Auto'd Baseball)
Rickey Henderson (bobblehead)
Tim Raines (bobblehead)



Then finally, a list of guys I consider to be "complete" because they either don't have one of the items, or it's waaaay out of my price range.

Addie Joss (have just a placeholder card)
Billy Hamilton (have just a placeholder card)
Cap Anson (have just a placeholder card)
Charles Radbourn (have just a placeholder card)
Christy Mathewson (have a jersey card)
Eddie Plank (have a replacement card)
Ernie Lombardi (Have an auto)
Goose Gossage (Have RC, Auto, Auto'd Baseball)
Joe Medwick (Have an auto)
John Clarkson (have just a placeholder card)
Mickey Welch (have a placeholder card)
Miller Huggins (Have a relic card)
Pud Galvin (have just a placeholder card)
Tim Keefe (have just a placeholder card)
Wee Willie Keeler (have a relic card)

That is very cool, thank you for sharing. I can't even imagine though, I have tons of boxes just holding cards, bobbleheads and balls take up even more space. I'm such an organizer that it would drive me crazy, I'd also want to store all of the four items of a player together. Just having larger slabs like the Perez-Steele cards drives me nuts because they won't store in the same boxes with standard slabs, I could only imaging how short circuited I'd get with trying to figure out where to put bobbleheads.

Thanks! One of my favorite non-Twins I have now. Won a contest on here, and that was my prize (picked it out myself). I was looking for a nice Killebrew ball, but I was being picky with it. I don't know what I'm up to now. But it's probably around 25 HOF baseballs now, which is hardly anything to most

[Skipscards]

I have a couple of Brooksies but no pictures. My most interesting is a 1/1 auto relic with George Brett on one side and Brooks on the other. Probably one of my 5 favorite cards.

Meanwhile, here’s my Frank, may he rest in piece:

Is it only me? I'm never able to view Mstepper's pics. Always an 'x'

I see them. 99% of what he posts are UD Sweet Spot autos, or one of the Panini or Fleer variations of the same concept

[Mstepper]

I wondered about that...
I bet it has something to do with hosting them on the FCB website. you may have to be a member to view

[Colllama]

I've noticed a lot of HOFers that primarily have cut autos available also have 1960-1961 fleer psa stabbed autos as the only card alternatives. Any ideas why this is?

I love this thread

JACKIE ROBINSON

Primary team: Brooklyn Dodgers
Primary position: 2nd Baseman

https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/robinson-jackie

I don't have one but I'm not going to show an example because I know 100% that the participants of this thread will be able to show at least one. I know this because I've seen and held it. Something tells me that we'll have more than one though. Prove me right fellas.

[joecarterfan]

No Auto yet, but I have this #/3.
