Are Halls of Fame becoming like sports cards in the 90's or awards shows on TV..........there's just too many of 'em? One familiar name associated with
one of the "go to" reference guides in our hobby thinks it's a good idea, and he even nominates a charter member.......
The idea brings up several interesting questions. Where would be an ideal location for a "Sports Collectibles Hall of Fame"? What would the criteria be for selection? Would there be folks that might get shut out of Canton, Cooperstown, and Springfield who would be charter members and/or subsequent first balloters here? I can think of several in baseball who either didn't have the numbers (Don Mattingly, Dwight Gooden, etc.), became allegedly chemically enhanced (Bonds, A-Rod, Clemens, Jose Canseco), or were found guilty of various other sins (Pete Rose) who have created massive buzz among collectors at certain points in their careers. I wouldn't think that would count here.
Furthermore......would you make a pilgrimage to a Sports Collectibles Hall of Fame? Comment below!!
