I'd like to collect cards of the all time greats. Can anyone suggest a brand/year that might feature lots of Hall of Fame types?

About the same era, the "Ted Williams Card Company" put out some similar sets. I have a few of those and a few Conlon cards....nice photos of some all time greats.
Obviously, this isn't the same as having cards produced of these players during their playing days, but they are a nice addition to a collection.Visit my card site at Mike D's Baseball Card Page.

W517 is one of the best ever for HOFers
The 1931 W517 Strip Card set is one of the best. 34 of the 54 cards in the set are Hall of Famers. Many of them can be had for $30-$50 ea. Go on eBay and do a search with "W517" in the 1930-39 Category.Last edited by flyingdutchdude; 03-30-2006, 06:17 PM.Vintage PreWar/19th Century Cards BUY/SELL/TRADE

If you're more interested in regular issue cards of Hall of Famers, many can be had cheaply. Cards of recent hall of famers won't break the bank (Boggs, Winfield, Yount, Ryan, etc), and even some older guys from the 1960's and 1970's can be had for $10 or less on eBay.
A great way to get cards featuring older Hall of Famers is to get cards from when they coached. Ted Williams had some manager cards in the early 1970's that aren't too pricy, and Yogi Berra was a coach and manager for the Yankees in the mid-1980's.Visit my card site at Mike D's Baseball Card Page.
