Really enjoyed reading through this thread. I started collecting as a kid over 40 years ago, and I think I was the Will Rogers of collecting - "I never met a sports collectible I didn't like!" Back then, focus wasn't required as access to sports collectibles was pretty limited - cards, oddball food issues, and the occasional flea market find. As a result of Al Gore inventing the internet I have been forced to narrow things a bit, so I find myself frequently looking for the following:

Bob Laughlin sets (still need about half the super standups set) and original art
Hugh Bedient items (1912-1914 Red Sox)
Topps original drawings/artwork
Other interesting original art

OK as I was typing this list, I thought of about 10 others things I collect - interesting Mets items, Bills items, statues and figures.... I really have no focus!
