That Chase collection is great. Ben, that Boggs shirt. I've never focused on one player, but Harry Wright would be my choice. Unfortunately, the pickings are slim.

Default Richie Ashburn
I have been collecting Richie Ashburn for over 40 years.

Have just about everything including toughies I NEVER thought I would find like:

1959 Dad's Cookies

1949 Lummis

1955 Exhibit PC back w/Mutoscope Line

1955 Exhibit PC back with plain line

Three high Star Call Decal

and many more.

Last thing I know of that I need is an Ashburn Felin's Frank.

This was never issued and when a "find" turned up at the printer's years ago Ashburn was not included. Although I do have a newspaper ad proof showing his card.

Anyone have one? Help a guy out!!

Ironically I was pulling together all of my Joe Tinkers for his bday and realized I had a pretty good collection going of his.

I've never seen a collection of Ferguson's like that. Do you know if all the players they did came in so many different colors?

Amazing, a collector's dream! One more question: how were the Ferguson's distributed?

Hi Fred,

Were you the one who just purchased the Ashburn Dixie Lid salesman sample on EBay? If so, great pick up! I've never seen a Dixie Lid salesman sample before.

After collecting all kinds of golf cards for the past 30+ years, I have settled on Ben Hogan cards. I currently have 125 of the 259 that I know exist.

If you have anything to offer, please let me know.

Hi Mike:

I assume you are talking about a Dixie PREMIUM Salesman Sample? If so, no I did not win it. I know who did, but I already had it.

If you are talking about a Dixie LID Salesman Sample, I missed it. If so can you send me a link to it?

Thanks,

Fred

I have a different kind of player collection. Both pre-war and modern cards. I collect any player from any sport with their first or last name of Hogan in any sport. I have quite a few different of Frank (Shanty) Hogan.

That is cool, I have a Jay North collection. A couple of the 1/1 proofs are customs I made to complete the rainbow. Hopefully I can find the real ones some day.

Good morning Fred,

You are correct, it was the Dixie Premium salesman sample, not the lid. Sorry about that. Still a great piece!

Guess I should have posted photos like others have done.

You can see some albums here of old photos. Lots added since. But this will give you an idea.

In addition to "collection photos" - perhaps a card or 2 with a good back story?

Great collections everyone = thanks for sharing! Especially appreciated the Chase and Ruth collections.

My player is Roberto Clemente. Currently have the #5 master PSA set and a collection that goes well beyond that including cards that PSA refuses to grade because they have never seen them before! Sub collections of newspapers, magazines with Clemente on the front or back cover, store model gloves, store model bats, display items, and more.

I am a Sam Crawford collector. While I do also collect vintage golf, my Baseball card collection is just Crawford.

Always looking for Crawford cards I don't have!

I’m a longtime boxing collector, specializing in 1960s heavyweights. Probably 75% of my collection focuses on Canadian contender George Chuvalo, who peaked at No. 2 in the world rankings and is the only man who fought the “holy trinity” of Muhammad Ali (twice), Joe Frazier and George Foreman. I have on-site posters from 40 of Chuvalo’s 97 bouts, including six of the nine he headlined at Madison Square Garden, as well as programs from 50 of his bouts, a dozen of his contracts and hundreds of wire photos. Tickets, media passes, cards and promotional issues round out the collection — but I’m always looking for more.
