Anyone familiar with this set? In PSA Registry, these are recognized as card set -

They have some pretty obscure old-school famers in the set, I have a few of them that are autographed will try get them photographed soon. Anyone else here collect these, auto or not?

I considered starting a collection of those. I'm fascinated by Hank Luisetti's career and legacy. I already have a cut autograph of his and I also bought a signed magazine cut, see below. I'm tempted to get some of those bookmarks as well.

This set is also known as the first hall of famers prints sets. Yes, according to the size and its function, this sets will not recognized as cards sets, but it was the first prints material which containing basketball HOF'ers datasheets info (memorable moments, legacy and stats). Oh, I have seen many of them, including JOE FULKS autograph on it (seller said the auto was acquired in person), about 2 or 3 years ago in amazon (not sure).

I'd love to get that Fulks auto that you mentioned. For now though, I am happy with my Fulks autographed program (it was recently chosen as one of the 'best Christmas gifts for fans of vintage basketball' on a blog - I felt very proud!). You don't see many of his autographs because he was murdered in the 1970s.
