Blog post - Top 10 Mays Dream Cards

[Snowman]

I collect Willie Mays, and there isn't a single card on that list that I would be interested in owning. Are you intending this to be the top 10 list of oddball cards? Or is this more intended to be your personal favorite top 10 list? I suspect if you were to poll most Mays collectors, they would place his more mainstream/flagship cards above these. Part of the problem to me of many of these cards is they just lack eye appeal. That's what is so great about many of his mainstream cards. They're just beautiful! 51 Bowman, 52 through 56 Topps, 58 Topps, 60 Topps, 54 Bowman. All are stunning cards.

I'm the same way with my Jackie Robinson collection though. There are numerous Jackie cards that I don't have, and don't intend to buy. Rather than seeking those out and buying every Jackie item I can find, I instead just buy duplicates of the ones I love most. To each their own though. There's no wrong way to collect!
