HOF Earliest Checklist

Checklist and images of the earliest cards and photos for each member of the Major League Baseball HOF.

Note that most of these cards/photos are not mine. They are images I have culled from the internet or that were provided from hobby colleagues over several decades of research and collaboration.

Click on any player listed and you will be taken to a folder with additional images.

Please email me at h2oya311@yahoo.com with any proposed edits and/or missing images to aid in this research.

Special thanks must go to a few hobby friends who have helped me immensely with this project through their extensive early and/or ongoing research, including Phil Garry, Kevin Struss, and Deron Dixon. Thanks also to any and all who have contributed photos to help make this endeavor work!
