Trying to get a card, original photo or autograph of everyone who has played for the NY Yankees. Nice example is Thompson photo of Tacks Neuer. Played 7 games in 1907 as his entire ML career.

In my quest for a career run for Mickey Mantle, I've developed a love and appreciation for his alternate issue cards. I try to collect them whenever I can, if I'm not trying to dedicate my money to finishing his career run.

Currently my two favorite issues from that subgroup are his Berk Ross card, from 1952 and his Red Heart card, from 1954.

T206 HOF Portraits and T206 Herzog Boston Back Run are my current niche endeavors. Kind of wondering what I'll tackle next as these get close to completion.

Love hearing about all the different preferences.

I love cards that were issued in New Orleans -- and I am always amazed by how many sets they made there.

I lived there for a decade, arriving 12 months before Katrina. The place I lived was about half a mile from the site of Weil Bakery/Holsum Bread and 1 mile from 1036 Joseph Street where the original owner of my T216 Ty Cobb lived (I wrote about her here: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=249451).

Default primary Niche = Roberto Clemente
Currently have the #4 PSA master set including more unique items than any other set (PSA relegates most of the rarest test issues as "optional". My collection extends well beyond PSA and includes regional items, magazines with Clemente covers, Newspapers, store model gloves and tons of other stuff (mostly career contemporary).

To get my kids interested - I started collecting Pirates team sets with them. Started out as 1952-1973 Topps. Has currently morphed into:

In addition to the Topps team sets;

1948-1955 Bowman
1948 Leaf
T3
T205
T206
T207
1914 Cracker Jack
1915 Cracker Jack
1933 Goudey

Topps Venezuelans from 1959-1968

We have made some great headway, but still have plenty more on the want list!
