The National Sports Collectors Convention is just getting going and for those not at the show there will be plenty to see here and elsewhere online to get a glimpse at all of the action.
Buzz wants you to get in on the action from afar by offering up this 2016 Topps Tribute autograph of Hall of Famer (and NSCC signer) Frank Thomas that was recently pulled in a Buzz Break.
Want your shot at the card? Simply leave a comment on this post telling us your favorite Hall of Famer. Include your email (in the spot where it asks for it) and also include your Twitter handle (so Buzz can follow you and also potentially contact you there if you win).
We'll pick a winner from all entries received by Monday. (Yes, you can enter if you're at the show ... and don't worry if you don't see your comment immediately. They are held before approval.)

Lou Brock! =)
My favorite player of all time - Ozzie Smith
Twitter @zeldafanatic15
The Wizard, Ozzie Smith, @shahekee
My favorite baseball HOFer is actually Frank Thomas. I had just become a Sox fan prior to his being called up to the bigs so I grew up watching him smash the ball and win MVPs.
Twitter @odiegoat
Robin Yount!!
"Let's play 2"...Ernie Banks
@jeffmu4
Reggie Jackson!
Stan "The Man" Musial
My favorite HOFer is a new HOFer Ken Griffey Jr. I started really getting into collecting in 1989. At my local card shop back then I would pay $5.99 a pack for a shot at a Griffey rookie. Not only did I pull 1, I got 2 more from the very same box! Seeing him inducted now the hobby has come full circle for me. Thanks for the shot to win that sweet Frank Thomas card!
Twitter - therich43
Ken Griffey Jr
I wish I could say Don Mattingly, but instead I'll go with Yogi Berra (RIP) . Twitter - kampkrusty
Willie Mays
Greg Maddux is my favorite HOF of all time. Loved watching him pitch. Go Braves!
Twitter: @ATylerMurphy
Ken Griffey Jr. But frank is second to me. I watched both growing up.
Magic Johnson (you never said which sport lol)
Teuf4
Its gotta be Griffey Jr.
Favorite HOFers are Frank Thomas and Mike Schmidt
Nolan Ryan!
@gant_bobo
Roberto Alomar!
@al_sportslover
This card is absolute #Fire ? Hope I pull off as the lucky winner. Thanks guys for the chance.
Griffey Jr.
Willie McGee was my moms favorite and I inherited her good taste! @rmcardsfan
Ken Griffey Jr was my favorite player for do long. But my absolute favorite player in the HOF is Kirby Puckett.
Frank thomas
Gotta be Satchel Paige, How can you argue against a guy who pitched professionally for 40 years. It's a shame he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
@Big_Nugs
Thanks for the chance! Love the Big Hurt!
Chipper Jones
Lou Brock
Ken Griffey Jr.! Glad the kid is in!!
Id have to say my fav HOF is now Ken Griffey Jr. The guy was a straight stud during his career and had probably the best swing of them all ? Thanks for the chance guys.
Mickey mantle
I'm going to go with Frank Big Hurt Thomas. I grew up a Whitesox fan have them tattooed on me . He was my first player I knew when I was 3 my dad taught me about him and he became my favorite player. Loved seeing him,ozzie and Robin play together in the 90's. Was so happy we got him a ring in 2005. @Pabst_Beer_8
The Big Hurt, Frank Thomas, is my all-time favorite! I'll never forget pulling his 1990 Leaf rookie card at my locals mall's sports card show!
@RandyBordley
Simple choice for this Tigers fan. Mr. Tiger Al Kaline
My favorite is Cal Ripen Jr. He was always a class act as a player and very humble person in general.
Griffey! First mariner to go in! Seattle legend
Mickey Mantle
Ozzie Smith. Loved watching him play.
Greg Maddux - I grew up watching the Braves and marveled at his precision on the mound!

Favorite Hall of Famer: Stan Musial
Kirrrrrrrrrrrrby Puckett, cause he can hit achomerun in a game and then go hustle pool at night. Double threat
My favorite Hall of Famer is Fred McGriff. Although not in the Hall, he is for sure a Hall of Famer.
my favorite current HOF is Reggie Jackson. my fav. future are Jeter and Mo
Reggie Jackson is my fav current player in the HOF
@bonk102 on Twitter
Don Mattingly remains my all-time favorite player, though sadly Donnie Baseball is not in the HOF. Would have to go with Ken Griffey, Jr. on this one.
Lou gehrig my all time favorite
Mike Piazza, mostly because his name sounds like pizza.
@xxbignick
Dave Winfield
@funtocollect
My favorite Hall of Famer is Mr. Padre, Tony Gwynn. He was an amazing hitter, but more importantly, an even better person. He was taken from us way too early.
Willie Mays
Ken Griffey Jr
Thank you for the chance!
-@Litebeer226
My favorite HOF player is the big hurt! I am a 3rd generation white sox fan and grew up loving big frank. I know he didn't play a big role in '05 but was happy he got a ring. Also a really nice guy when we met in person!

My favorite hall of famer is newly indicted member Ken Griffey Jr. He redefined pop culture, and has a cult following of modern and 20-years gone by collectors.

Bob Feller. Great ball player, WWII veteran, and in old age he actually took the time to have a brief conversation with those at autograph signings.
None other then Frank Thomas himself. He is the reason I am a White Sox fan.
Twitter: @cCabral_
Favorite is of course Pedro Martinez.... He was the goat in my opinion !

@hotstovesports
As a life long Pirates fan it's got to be Roberto Clemente.
Yogi = CLASS
Ryne Sandberg! Love that he is back with the Cubs!
Favorite Hall of Famer is and always will be Sandy Koufax. He overcame long odds and terrible arthritis to become one of the best hurlers of the game ever!
