I collect Bake McBride cards and ephemera. I've thought about branching into Garry Maddox and Greg Luzinski, but they never held the same cache for me, though I love them. I also keep wanting to build up my Brooks Kieschnick collection every time I come across my small stash in my collection, but never do. He's got a 96 Select Mirror Gold, which would of course be the cornerstone of the collection and is something to maybe aspire to if I want to set a couple hundred bucks on fire.
I have a friend named Brian Banks who doesn't collect cards, but I gave him one of the 90s prospect and he loved it. Naturally, I thought about collecting more cards of his to give to him, but he was kind of non-plussed by the idea. He liked the first one but having to keep 20-30 cards as permanent possessions was more than he could bear.
So basically I have 1 obscure player collection and 1 collection of ideas for collections.
