I have 5-10 cards or pictures of each--which keep me from finishing my HOF (19th century) collection. I can't resist acquiring more... |

Im with you on O'Doul and Heilmann because they aren't as widely recognized as their stats appear to indicate they deserve. I feel that I sorta "discovered" them because I "uncovered" their performance from perusing stats rather than reading narrative about them. Now, having discovered them, I soon have to read up on who they were. They seem fascinating. |

Sid was a distant cousin of mine, and I am trying to get every card produced of him. I'm down to the very obscure cards to finish the collection. |

Addie Joss, read his biography and was hooked. I am also partial to Lefty Grove (although I have nearly nothing of his) for the simple fact that he was brought a piece of supposedly shatter proof glass which he then proceeded to through a baseball through! I like Hans Lobert as well for racing a horse around the diamond. |

No obession players any more, but I used to pursue items of Sam Crawford, Billy Hamilton, Tony Oliva and Jerry Koosman. Crawford cuz I love triples. Hamilton cuz he was the original king of baseb stealing. Oliva was my favorite player as a kid. Koosman was a local boy done good whose family was known by my Mom and Grandparnets. |

I always felt sorry for the Cubs, so when I started collecting vintage cards I was very interested in the old Cubs teams that actually won World Series - it became obvious to me that Ed Reulbach had been a huge star for them and that without him and Mordecai Brown, they wouldn't have had the pitching to be so good. It's also apparent (to me anyway) that Reulbach got screwed out of the Hall of Fame...have I said that before? |

but I'm very interested in Joe Judge cards in high grade. I only have a few, but I think he's great for my type collection. His career spanned from the 1916 m101-4/5s through 1933 Goudey, with many of the less popular cards from the 20's included. He was a very good player, later coaching at Georgetown for years, and getting a run of his cards shouldn't break the bank. |

Nice joke. I am obsessed with getting ONE McPhee. But I have absolutely no interest in driving myself insane by pursuing all of his poses. In fact, I wish the folks at the Hall of Fame would come to their senses and kick McPhee out! |

I don't know that I'd call it an "obsession." Had a great World Series in 1909 (one of the few bright spots for the Tigers), and was a good hitter, for a pitcher. |

The Koosman family farm is actually closer to Holloway than Morris. Holloway is literally a grain elevator, fas station and diner. Not much else in the town and it offically has fewer than 50 people. Not sure why he opted to list Morris as his hometown. |

I was getting to the addiction point on Hack but recently picked up a few exhibits and cured my addiction, as I did with Foxx cards a few years ago when I picked up a couple of exhibits and an R315. I am now clean and Wilson-free and have been Foxx-free for at least a year. Can't say I'm cured though; once a Hackaholic, always a Hackaholic. |

Dave Orr--One of the best 19th century players yet he receives very little recognition. A stroke cut his career short but he was a great hitter and is burried in the Bronx very close to where I went to high school. Someone please find me his Kalamazoo Bats card! |
