This is the kind of stuff that makes collecting so interesting. Most people would brush by a guy like this with little to no interest. We all probably have these kinds of guys that for whatever reason take a much higher priority in our collections.
I generally don't care for common players but my exceptions are almost always team related. In the case of the Mariners players, it would have to be on the 77-87 era cards, or maybe team postcards and an occasional photo, otherwise I really have no interest at all. Without a photo link to the M's of that time, they are just not that interesting to me.
Dodgers on the other hand, I will take anything signed to cross a name off the want list. Dodger cards are the most preferred item, but cuts or other team items are acceptable if that is the best I can do with my budget. If Al Lewis had played for the Dodgers, I'd be wanting his signature for that only reason.
