Type Collectors- What is your focus?

[Leon]

The title of this thread is somewhat of an oxymoron in itself. That being said it should be interesting to see how type collectors collect, since in general, we aren't set collectors (I admit to collecting a few sets). I do 20th century (1900) through 1949 baseball types. As for the cutoff year, I guess I just didn't want to go into the 1950's and deal with all of those cards too. Also, they just don't interest me as much...(truly a personal thing and I am sure 50's collectors have as much, or more, fun than anyone). I also have concentrated on ACC numbers, backs, variations, colors, misprints etc....as well as ancillary pieces the cards came in or were associated with. This is a picture of a Baguer Chocolate Truck from around the time period the baseball cards were put out. The cards, as pictured here too, were tiny in size at approx. 5/8th x 7/8 of an inch in size.
