Over the last 10+ years, my collection focus has changed many, many times. I was 16 years old when I started opening packs again and really started to collect cards. Im a huge Twins fan, so I was going after any and everything that had a Twins logo on it. Then I started focusing more on the relics and autographs only, while having player PCs of Joe Mauer and Denard Span. Most of those collections are gone, aside from a select few cards.
Then I got bit by the memorabilia bug- signed photos, signed baseballs, and full game used items.
Ive always enjoyed the history of the game as well (my wife and I hit up Cooperstown on our honeymoon a couple of years back), and decided to start collecting autographs of the greats of the game. I still have a couple of smaller card collections- mostly Twins patches, but the HOF autographs are the cards that I will never intend to sell.
I dont add to the collection as much as I'd like to, but will snag one here or there if its a good deal. My goal is to have on card autographs when possible, but do make exceptions at time (like the Lasorda you'll find below). Some of the sticker autos were too good of deals to pass up and I have intentions of upgrading them when possible (looking at the Winfield below- tough to pass up for less than $10). I also plan to upgrade to licensed cards with logos for some of these as well (besides the aforementioned Lasorda.
One final note- the majority of the cards in this post have come from the members of this board through trades, purchases, and even some very generous gifts. Without this board, this collection wouldn't be here, even if it's mostly low end stuff right now.
Please ignore some of the crappy pictures (ok, most of the pictures are pretty bad, haha) and scratched one touches
