I am at 1080 on the beckett Kirby Puckett Checklist with about 20 more incoming(not sure if they are all on the checklist though). I have 133 Game Used Puckett cards and 17 autographs(with one more incoming). My next goal is to get to 150 GU cards but they are getting tough to find.

I have 1,200+ for Dustin Pedroia. Beckett lists 3,000+ so I'm constantly looking for cards I don't have. Also with Pedroia being a newer player, Beckett's numbers include almost 1,000 1/1 cards and plates, Mcfarlanes, poker chipz, and quibi stamps so I'm under no delusions that I will ever be 100% of what Beckett lists.

I'm pretty sure I have 1000+ Frank Thomas and possibly the same for Albert Belle, Juan Gonzalez and maybe even Greg Maddux too. I collected all of them fairly heavily at one point.

I know I have 1000+ Steve Garvey, but I don't think he even has 1500 recognized cards, although I have variations and non-cataloged items that could push me to the next round number plateau. i think the recognized list is around 1300.

I enjoy watching and view large player collections, but I am actually glad that Garvey doesn't have a mass more newer cards, although I do wish he had been featured in more of the early to mid 80s oddball issues.

I just hit over 1,000 earlier this year with the Cruz collection. Currently at 1,119 of 1,671 66.9%. Of the 552 I need, 305 are not 1/1's or Tek Diffractors. Once I track those down it'll be nice to just sit back and wait for 1/1's to pop up.

I have over 1,000 different Jim Thome cards. Might be closer to 2,000. I'm not looking to collect all his cards because he has almost 10,000 cards. I mostly collect base, inserts, parellels. Some gu cards if price is right. I'm currently working on his 1998 Topps Tek 90 pattern set and I'm about halfway there. I have bought a couple of big lots early on but when you get this many cards you end up with lots of dupes when buying big lots. Most of my Thome collection has come from Ebay and Sportlots. Also have done a lot of trading and buying on several baseball trading and message boards such as this one. Time to go organize and count my Thome cards.:confused:

Despite not really trying all that hard in the last 10 years, thanks to a few trades over on TradingCardDB.com, I just ticked over 1000 cards in my Matt Williams collection.

I have 1,058 Sandy Alomar Jr. cards. Unfortunately, cards are fewer and farther between at this point. Most of the remaining cards I need are very low-numbered or just plain rare. I have only been able to add a small handful so far this year, and I just missed out on one tonight that went for a lot more than I thought it would. It has not been a very productive year for my Alomar collection.

I surpassed the 5000 unique Henderson cards last year, and probably have another 5000 or so duplicates. Not counting posters (maybe 30 or more) bats, balls, magazines/books and other oddities. Also have many hundreds of articles and clippings from newspapers and magazines. It is too hard to keep up with my checklist, live life and work, so maybe one of these days I'll drop the work thing and do the checklist!

I'm currently at 1,403 different Maddux cards at the moment. I only collect his cards from 1986-2009. About one third of the collection consist of high end cards (such as short printed GU patches, 1/1's, 90's inserts SP'd or #'d to 100 or less, and autos etc.), and the rest are base, parallels/inserts, oddball, regional issues, variations, proofs, and test issues. I also collect any preproduction material that comes out on the Topps Vault (i.e. color correction photos, slides, etc.), especially those that were from the late 80's and early 90's, along with SLU's and other non-card items. I'm not even sure how many cards were produced during his playing career, but I would have to imagine that my collection will be a life long endeavor.
