Post War HOF Rookies
UPDATED: 4/23/2024 thanks to adding the Ryan RC and Bench RC!
@ = incoming
**I'm looking to obtain each of the following:
The earliest raw card for each HOFer for my binder. It MUST be able to fit into a standard top loader, so essentially about the size of a 1956 Topps card or smaller.
A specific PSA graded RC card for each HOFer as noted below.
In some cases, there are cards that predate a Topps or Bowman RC and/or larger than a standard card. I've indicated which cards I need for those respective HOFers.
