I don't too much player collecting. As a kid I collected everything I could get my hand on for Ripken. I haven't really pursued it much recently, but i still pick up a cheapie here and there.
Bo Jackson is another, as well as mel Harder.
I ONLY collect career contemporary items. yes, I said items. Cards, coins, trinkets, glove tags, whatever.
Harder is easy. He only had a few career contemporary items anyway. Haven't completed his collection. Just pick up things every once in a while.
Bo Jackson has been fun, because he was in that era where players were on anything and everything, with numerous parallel versions of many of them, plus he had 2 sports to do it in. I also count the unlicensed cards for him as well. The store display cards for video games are some of the more fun items for him..
