I didn't think I ever would, but I like the idea of accumulating several different backs of the same player. I can also dabble in Obaks from time to time as well. Fun stuff!

Robert, this is the way I collect. I have collected WaJo & Sam Rice cards for many years, and more recently I began collecting cards of all the other players on the Senators 1924 championship team. I also collect type cards, with my player cards also serving as my type cards, where possible.
