Just checking in here, since it's been awhile.
There's a W502 HOFer as part of a lot of W-cards in
the upcoming Mastro auction, but I think I'm going to
steer clear. The other cards in the lot include some
top-tier HOFers, and I don't need those, so I'm not
sure I want to spring for the entire lot just to get
at the one card.
If anyone out there wins the lot, though, and wants to sell off the W502, I'm a buyer.
Meanwhile I've been focusing on other areas of my collection. I recently picked up a handful of HOFers for my collection from a friend, and also picked up the elusive, "low-grade but presentable T205 Joss" I've been looking for, to fill a hole in my T205 set and add to my HOFer set.
And then, of course, I broke the bank on a new '38 Goudey Joe D.
Sent in a submission of mostly prewar HOFers to SGC today (including an out-of-place 1984 Donruss Rod Carew that was broken out of a PSA 9 holder). The grouping included the Abner Doubleday CDV that you see on the home page. It's debatable as to whether Doubleday belongs in my collection, since he's not really a HOFer and didn't really have anything to do with baseball, but in this case I'm willing to suspend reality and recognize baseball lore for what it is.
I also picked up a couple of nice, midgrade 1954 Topps HOFers (Whitey Ford and Phil Rizzuto), a couple of Gold Medal Foods, and last weekend found a nice V61 Neilson's Chocolate Burleigh Grimes to add to the HOF set. So while the well has been dry as far as W502s are concerned, at least I've been keeping myself busy with other stuff!
