What player do you think you have the best collection of in the world? (If any)

[Tennis13]

This obviously lends itself to billionaires or people that have been obsessed with collecting one player. I have been actively collecting Javier Baez, and I don’t think I have his best collection in the world, but I feel like I would be top 10, maybe.

Anyone else have a particular player that they have a ton of that’s not collected by manythat they would feel confident declaring themselves world champ?

I'm fairly confident I'm in the running for Lou Brock.


There is also a Yaz thread and Clemente thread going on.

I would have to imagine Clemnte and Yaz are heavily collected. As a Cubs fan, I can appreciate the comments on that Brock thread.

Including post retirement issues, loaded with many 1/1s, of which I was able to secure a decent amount, and my near complete checklist of other than 1/1 cards, plus the variety of other items (aside from items that have not seen the light of day since the 80s, a couple rare items I failed to win or chose not to afford and super high end memorabilia), I'd challenge any takers for the claim to Steve Garvey.

Up until 1 year after he retired I would have had either the #1 or #2 Wade Boggs collection. The best was either me or a gentleman from Washington. Can't remember his name anymore but we cost each other a boat load of cash.

I sold all my rare stuff in 2001 because of a bad business deal. It really sucked at the time but now I am glad i done it as those cards sold for way more then than they would now.

I think I have the best possible Darryl Palmer collection.

Josh Fogg as evidenced here: http://jasondeanmartin.weebly.com/jo...ollection.html

I have added a few things but not updated my stats. Added a game used bat a couple weeks ago. Set me back a whopping $20.

Bar none, the finest Josh Phelps collection in existence...

It's fun to check the PSA card site psacard.com to see the Master Set of individual players. Good place to start a player checklist. I'm # 4 on the Al Kaline Master Set.

I have looked at some of those, but so many folks have no photos. I don't do graded cards unless it is similar to a non graded card price wise or I have some extra concern about authenticity, but I have all of the items on the master list.

Certainly #1 on those lists has the highest conditioned, shared set in the world.

I don't know if it's the "best collection in the world", but I do have over 250 (and growing) PSA 10 Mike Piazza cards.
