I have no rhyme or reason to how I've been collecting,I sort of just see a card (or cards) I like,within my price range,and go for it.HOF'ers,minor league,a couple semi-hard backs,common's,etc........the other night,I took a photo of my cards spread out on a coffee table-below is the photo.14 of these have been picked up from board members on the BST(thanks again Jim,Tim,and Dave
).I've also bought some of these from board members,but through Ebay transactions.My main goal is to get to at least 518 with a sample of every back(minus the Cobb back) in a grade 3 to 4 or better,SGC,BVG,PSA............good luck on your quest(I am at 54 now)........
Sincerely,Clayton
