Type Collecting vs. Collecting wo/Focus

[shernan30]

I was all over the place when I started collecting again a few years ago. At first I bought what appealed to me, but my personality needed there to be some sense to the collection. I now collect cards of pre-war players that spent time in the Columbus, Ohio minor league program.

I have over 200 players and doing a type style collection. Trying to get as many different set represented as possible. I assembled a sub-set of players when played under Carl Molesworth from 1923-1925. This resulted in 19 different players from 19 different sets. It was a blast putting that together last year.

I throw in boxing, and non-sport cards to help the bank account while fueling my addiction to cardboard. Just purchased an E76 boxing set and now working on 1941 Sky Birds and T37 Automobile Series.

Have fun and make sure whatever you do it makes you happy.
