Hall of Famer Pickups April 2021

 

This post features some recently picked up cards of National Baseball Hall of Famers that I have already posted about. These cards will be added to the respective collection. 

I've featured Hank Aaron in several posts, including my initial National Baseball HoF card collection post, my No. 44's post, my reverse negative error cards post, and more recently in a post when he passed away.

1989 Baseball Wit.

I purchased the entire 1989 Baseball Wit collection and am really happy with the variety of cards in that set, especially the HoFers. Not only does it include relatively recent stars such as Aaron and Johnny Bench, but also the Grover Cleveland Alexander card noted below, as well as several other early day baseball pioneers.

Grover Cleveland Alexander has been featured in my HoF post here, and Syracuse Baseball Wall of Fame post here. Anderson is in the back row between Honus Wager and Tris Speaker. Eddie Collins and Babe Ruth are in the front row.
