I wanted to add 5 new HOF'er autographs to my collection in '09 and I just made a trade here on TCC that allowed me to reach that goal. Yesterday I traded a Bruce Sutter SP Legendary Cuts auto #3/10 for a Bob Gibson 1999 Sports Illustrated auto. Along with the Gibson auto I've added Tony Gwynn, Tony Perez, Frank Robinson, and Catfish Hunter to my baseball HOF'er auto collection. Sometime this week I'm going to have to count my HOF auto collection, I have no idea how many I have
You may wonder why I only wanted to add five HOF'er autos to my collection instead of more. One reason is obvious, HOF'er auto's demand more $ or something of equal value to trade (which is mostly PC for me). Another reason is I just started a Rajon Rondo auto collection that I really want to build up quick. Finally, I have a strict focus on building vintage Topps baseball sets which is where most of my resources will be spent.
On another note, in my previous blog I mentioned I wanted an 06 Press Pass red auto. I just picked one up today, bringing my Rondo auto needs down to 9. I've never been really excited over anything Press Pass produces, but I really like their Rondo auto's with him in the UK uniform.
Thanks for reading!
