Not really the same.
I don't consider 5 cards to be a "shrine".
If you invited the player over to dinner and showed him where you have locks of his hair stolen from a brush on top of a maniquen's head with his face pasted to the front of it next to his first grade report card where he got an "S" for "Satisfactory" in Phys Ed, that would be weird.
When I was a player collector, I would have loved to even meet my player, let alone show him some of my cards.
When I was in college, for one of my beginning excel class, I had to do a document with formulas and stuff. I did one with the stats of my favorite player (Latrell Sprewell). I thought many times about sending it to him to sign for my collection.
This being said, I would LOVE to meet with Michael Cramer (former CEO of Pacific) and talk to him about how he came up with the great designs and weird numbering scheme of the MANY Pacific parallels.
