The Repository newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/295HPrn ) the collection, which features the rookie cards of every enshrined member in the top grade available, was assembled by Dan Hunt and art consultant Robert Casterline.

Among the highlights of the collection is a card from the 1800s depicting Yale University's Henry Beecher, the first person to appear on a football card.
The cards will be on display at the Hall of Fame in Canton for six months to a year.
