A couple of years ago I visited the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in
Jackson for the first time and was just blown away! The museum is laid
out very well and it is packed with memorabilia. It got my autograph
meter spinning and I went home and printed out a list of inductees and
began to check them off one by one as I hunted them down. Hall of Famers
on a list like this are so much more fun to collect than Cooperstown
guys. When you write or meet one of these legends, they often thank you
for remembering them, or will most of the time write a nice note back. I
don't open the envelope expecting a price list like with other Hall of
Famers. That being said, I first started using a cut auto design, but
now I also send cards that I based on the 1955 Topps All-Americans. On
the cards I am using the red box on all of them instead of various
colors like the original set. I think they have a classic look, and the
inductees love getting them.
