I collect Hank Aaron, and my collection includes all his standard issue Topps cards from 1954-1976, a healthy supply of bobbleheads, a ton of magazines, and some random low value odds and ends.

When I was in college ('87-91) I used to take my textbook money to card shows, and in this manner I ended up with about 5-6 different Aarons, including his '55 Topps. The RC convinced me I'd never end up with his full career. Then one day I saw his RC at a show for $130 and I bought it. After that, money got tight and my interests (finally!) evolved to music, girls, etc., and my Aaron collection topped out around 8-9 cards.
Fast forward 23 years to my divorce last year. A single small box was literally about the only thing I left the house with. Thumbing through my cards, the love returned fast, and I also saw just how easy it was to find cards on the internet. Within about four months, I was able to buy all the Aaron cards I still needed and frame them in a Pennzoni case. None of my cards are high end...I've seen guys pay more for a PSA 9 1972 Topps Hank Aaron in Action than what my whole board is worth...but I'm still really happy to have it light up my wall, especially now that I'm on my own.
