Top 10 — Most Collected Players

[JollyElm]

It's a tough question to really answer as it becomes quite the jumble of all-time favorites, HOF'ers you're 'supposed' to want, valuable cards, home run Gods, players you would collect, but can't afford, and on and on.

As a post-war guy, I don't think the list even reaches ten (although each collector has his personal favorite players to feather the nest), but it clearly would be these guys in a sort-of 'if you see them at a good price, you buy them immediately' kind of way (in no specific order):

• Mickey Mantle
• Willie Mays
• Hank Aaron
• Sandy Koufax
• Roberto Clemente
• Nolan Ryan
• Jackie Robinson
• Ted Williams

I like Darren's post-war list, notably the addition of Ryan, but taking into account pre-war, even if I currently don't have many cards or other memorabilia featuring them, I'd add Ruth and Gehrig.
