I don't collect any particular individual team let alone player. If I decide to collect a certain set or a series (the years 1954, 1955, 1957-63 and 1965 for vintage Topps right now), I'll go after all the cards the way I did as a little kid unless there's something about certain cards that offend me, e.g. AL and NL President cards or the Babe Ruth subset from 1962 Topps. As a result, I'm much more inclined to go after the Checklists than any individual player. Here are some samples from my collection:
