I collect Brooks Robinson, but only pick up cards from his playing days (‘57 to ‘78). Now I do collect every card he’s pictured during this time frame, including team cards. I collect odd ball cards, posters, pins, pictures, picture packs, etc. There are some items I just don’t like the look of so I don’t pick those up. There are a few of his cards that are out of my price range and am fine with not having those cards. Not very long ago I started to add autographed cards of his regular issue cards and it’s been a very fun side project. You’d figure I’d run out of items, but it’s definitely not the case.
Like to hear what you’re thinking for your collection.
