Future Candidates for the BCHOF

Hey guys, Drew back here. I haven't done much of this series at all lately, so I want to get discussion back up. There are many cards that need to make their way into our Baseball Card Hall of Fame, and here are a few that I think will at some point make it in:

So, please comment on any card you would like to vote for, or if I left out the one you want go ahead and let me know through a comment and a vote will be cast for that card. It could be ANYTHING, so go ahead and pick a famous card to become the 8th member of the Baseball Card Hall of Fame.

Now, if one card in the comments gets 3 votes it will automatically be elected, but if we don't get enough votes, the ones that have the most votes will go onto a poll and you can vote there. Thanks and See Ya!

    I have said it before but 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson is the last hall of famer to have only one rookie card. No hof player since 1981 can say that.

    He belongs in the Baseball card Hall of Fame

    Is there a limit on the ballot of how many we can vote for?
    I will go with the 1955 Sandy Koufax and 1980 Topps Rickey. For a future ballot I would suggest the 1957 Topps reverse negative of Hank Aaron... I agree with John's comment, Rickey's 1980 rookie NEEDS to be in the BCHoF.

    I am still trying to get the Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson card in the Card Hall. That's been an iconic card for ages. Get it in there!!!

    I'm partial to the Koufax rookie, too.

    Billy Ripken. That card is about as iconic as it gets, even if the player featured on it is not. This is the baseball CARD hall of fame after all.

    Gotta be the Billy Ripken "Fudge Face" card. That card caused so much controversy in it's day and there have been no other cards in history that have been altered in so many different ways to cover a mistake.

    Well, it was close, but Rickey edged out Bill Ripken and is heading into the BCHOF as the 8th member!
