After only about three years since I had this brilliant idea, I have finished my collection of the Last Topps Card of Any Hall of Fame Player Who Has a Topps Card. Picked up the last one, a 1953 Satchel Paige, last night. Graded SGC 50/4 because I didn't trust that I wouldn't get a reprint. It's the most I've ever spent on a stupid piece of cardboard. And I'm truly happy about it. I loved the idea of this sub-collection, and the fact that I was able to pull it off pretty quickly. (End of baseball card budget for the calendar year, I'm afraid....)

Thus, I have refreshed my list, and it's at the top of the lists here again. All modesty aside, it's fun to look through, so you might want to take a look. And then I will let it slowly fade away so you needn't be troubled with it again.

But I'll look at those cards every time I'm in my basement to play ping-pong or Wii or run on the treadmill. So, just about every day. I'm so happy!!!

Ok, I'm done now.

Don't forget you are not done because there is a new HOF class every year so it's a never ending project. 

Great idea. Awesome collection!

True, true. But I buy the set every year and have all the sets from 1972 on. So unless the Veteran's committee starts doing something dramatic, I'll be covered. 

Either way it is a brilliant achievement.

Very cool idea for a collection.  I like the last card because it gives the complete stats.  I may have to do this one, but I have too many Detroit Tigers holes to fill through the 1950's & 60's.  Congratulations!!!

Brag away, V3 - that's an awesome idea, and to have completed it (for now) with the difficulty of some of the cards, that is really, really cool. I appreciate the fact that you're willing to share that with us.
