Another subset of the true Type collector were the collectors who kept Type albums. I knew quite a few collectors that did this but very few that identified themselves as type collectors.

My goal before abandoning it was one of every baseball ACC numbered card before WWII. I was only a few away when I liquidated and started over. I still love types but won't be the completist I was.
