Top 85 Wants

Here Are My Top 85 Wants

This is a special project I'm working on ...  Hall of Fame book - or possible future HOFers. My goal is to collect the player's last card, the player's rookie card and an autograph card. I prefer Topps brands where possible.

When I don't have a player's rookie card ... I seek the oldest card for that player then adjust the range below. For example - if I own a 1973 Reggie Jackson, below you would see listed 1969-1972. If I obtain a 1971 Reggie Jackson ... I will swap out the 1973 card in my book and update the range to be 1969-1970, eventually working my way back to the rookie card.
