The Joy of a Completed Insert Set - 2014 Panini Hall of Fame The Elite Series

In addition to knocking off the last three cards of my 1969 Topps set, my recent COMC order also finished off a couple more sets I have been working on.  Interestingly, I have been working on these sets for much longer than the 1969 set but they are much more modern.

This post will focus on one of those two sets, The Elite Series insert set that was an insert in 2014 Panini Hall of Fame.  This was a product that delivered two autographs of Hall of Famers and a few different other cards.  I bought a few boxes of this to help expand my autograph collection of Hall of Famers.  Each box contained one or two of these inserts and I instantly fell in love with them  After a few boxes and seeing that prices were very reasonable on the secondary market I decided to build the the set.

This Ryne Sandberg was the final card I need to finish off the set:


I decided to show the set off in its entirety, as you will see the collection of players is quite impressive.  Of course they are all HOFers but they also cross a multitude of generations. Of course being a Panini product, these are logo-less but I think they still look great.  I will let the set do the rest of the talking:

  1. Nice! Great player selection, though of course I'm biased since George Sisler made the cut. Anyway I love the callback to another classic (if crazy) Donruss design.
