Tim NewcombMy focus has always been on complete sets--
but failing that (and it does fail in many cases, thanks to all you HOF collectors)--
I like to collect players that are new to me. I keep an alphabetical list of all players I have prewar cards of. At the moment it has 1797 names from Abbaticchio to Zwilling. Eddie Collins is currently in the lead with cards from 18 prewar (WW2) sets. Someone else on the board does something like this--who is it?
I also have:
a type collection (currently at 385 distinct sets)
a Cincinnati Reds collection (now focusing on Reds prewar postcards)
HOF collection (one per player is plenty-- I already know what the HOFers look like--)
a team-set collection (one player per team from sets I can't hope to complete, like Cracker Jacks)
a year type collection (surprisingly difficult to find a card from 1924 other than Zeenuts)
So give me all those rubbishy old cards of journeyman that you guys don't want-- I'll give them a good home.
