Player Collectors: Do You Count Team Cards for Your Player?

I guess I am a little quirky when it comes to these sorts of things. I don't collect plates, posters or magazines, but I collect game trivia cards, mini promo posters and even the uber rare marble that was from Topps.

I'd suggest not going down that slippery slop in collecting "everything" where your PC guy is located. I'm at the point of picking up magazines where there is an article on Brooks Robinson, even if he's not pictured on the cover, or his name for that matter (it isn't pretty...).

Of course it does beg the question, why not collect plates, posters, magazines, etc.?

I don't unless my guy is prominently featured and/or visible.

I'll extend this out - where does everyone stand on massive multiplayer cards? Things like the 1997 Pro Shooter checklist, the 1993-1994 Black Gold "You've Just Won" cards... I personally have them in my Baerga collection but I'm really wondering why I consider them "his card" when here are 10-40 other players on it and he's barely visible...

I love the black gold cards and have many of them with Dawson on them including unopened packs and errors

I'm not sure, to be honest. Having a plate displayed somewhere just doesn't do it for me, magazines can get bulky fast and the thought of his posters all over my walls seems ... well .... I guess it means I wouldn't be able to hide the crazy as easily

I don't collect photo balls, starting lineups or macfarlanes of him either. My first love is the baseball cards, and it is not just because it is him ... it is because I love cards. I do have some coins too, and I do collect oversized cards, mini pocket schedules, etc.

How about this one?

If your player was in a background such as this card, BUT NOT SHOWN, would you chase it and all parallels?

So for instance, say you collect Pujols and a Trout card shows the scoreboard in the background, which has Albert's image.

I don't usually collect the team card. I only consider cards for the PC if the player's name is on the front of the card.

Ah! Ok so if he is visible in the movie, is the movie in your collection?

I too watched Home Alone last night, and the '89 Fleer caught my eye as well, my wife was unimpressed.
