It should be noted that [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] is above your average "player collector". Spectacular player completionist.

I definitely would if I could find them. There's a Dave Henderson from the SF Chronicle back in 1991 that I've only ever seen in book. I don't think any of my other players have had any of those types of cards. Lots of them aren't documented.

I would pick them up if I had the chance. These did not have any Yankees but I grabbed them anyway. The are a bit bigger than regular size cards. They have a few pages like a mini newspaper. I have a Canseco cover and a Sandberg cover. I am not sure how many are in the set:

Old ones, like this 1984 Chicago Cubs / Chicago Tribune, can be on player collector's checklists for years without seeing one.

I definitely collect them. The NY Daily News has had some great insert posters over the years, have some of Gary Carter and Bernie Williams I need to scan

Dude...I think it's safe to say that all of us are a little off. So asking if we'd collect something, anything, with our featured player will usually result in a yes!

Yes, I have actually paid real, American money for a Leaf and Panini airbrushed and/or cropped card, so yes, I'll take anything!!

Three of them. I think they were in Toys R Us and came with gum, but it's a little foggy, so I am not exactly sure.
