Yes, Bryan, this is EXACTLY how it all starts!! About 25 years ago, I started collecting OJs of Washington players (+ Griffith, because of his later association with Washington). At first, I was content with 1 card of each player; then it became 1 card of each pose of each player; then it became each variation of each pose of each player, before I came to my senses and realized that my collecting budget wouldn't accommodate this! But, hey, this is a part of what makes collecting so much fun, right? The cards below are not recent pickups - I'm merely showing them to whet Bryan's OJ-collecting appetite!

Steven, thanks for the kind words. Actually, I now have only 3 of these O'Day cards in my collection. Right after O'Day was elected to the HOF, I put the worst-looking card on the far right on eBay, and it sold for much more than I ever expected. Shortly thereafter, I traded 1 of the 2 cards with the throwing pose. This left me with 1 card of each pose, which is my now-reduced OJ collecting goal for Washington players.
