DUSTIN PEDROIA Super Collector - I am going to try

[TGutta]

Honestly I don't understand why people get so upset when someone says Supercollector. We are all a part of this hobby and that is something that is thrown around, why such negative attention around it? I understand that some people may say that it is arrogant, but brauny never said anything arrogant about it. It is an easy way for people to know that they want anything related to that player, doesn't have to be such a huge deal to me.

Also brauny, hopefully you will need the 2 Pedroia's that are coming along with your Brewers. I will be sure to let you know if I come across anything else.

Respect my man, respect, thanks for the comment. I hope I need them too, although I think I do need them.

OK I will use that term, but cannot edit the title in the post (can we?) or should I let the others post threads on my behalf. Just bothers me some of the guys I respected on here would do that.

If it makes you feel any better the term "rainbow" annoys the **** out of me.

Hmmmmmm......questioning collection naming seems to be more ridiculous than said collection name.

We are a fickle bunch aren't we?

hofmichael? Why HOF? You think you're better than everyone else? Like your username is in an elite group or something?

Good luck. Wish I still had this, but sold it for a nice price.

All guys I respect here going after me for saying Super Collector, a lot of people use that term so I just threw it out there. Instead of reading into everything people type, why don't you make judgement on those who are being arrogant, as I am not one of them.

The term super collector, I could care less.
I was agreeing more with skrips sentiment that it'll be an endless endeavor of epic failure if you are truly trying for EVERY card of Dustin's including 1/1s.
Good luck in your quest.

You are more likely to be a SUPER Collector of Harvey if you actually collect him since you have the big one out of the way, and he's has far less 1/1s, and you won't be battling player collectors with deep pockets who've been collecting him (like Pedroia) for YEARS.

Do your thing my man, but don't think people can't make "judgements" or have opinions on a PUBLIC FORUM for "collectors". Seems frivolous doesn't it?

I for one am happy that you chose to use the term "Super Collector". It's your collection call it what you want. If people don't like the term Super Collector then they don't have to use it. It's simple. I like using that term and I will continue to use it. I am not really collecting any other player than Andre Ethier, and my collection is SUPER compared to the rest of my cards. So it is my Super Collection. And I am super collecting Andre Ethier, so if you have any cards I don't have in my thread hit me up with them.

As for your collection, I will check to see what I have of Pedroia and hit you up when I get a chance. Some people just need to chill the hell out on these threads, it is just getting Super Ridiculous.

Who cares if people use the term supercollector? For me I couldn't care less if he called himself a megasuperdupercollector. His collection will speak for itself. For a guy like Pedroia or Braun it is impossible to have every 1/1, or even 50% of the 1/1s probably unless you have VERY, VERY deep pockets and get really lucky finding them. Other people say you can consider yourself a supercollector if you have 51% of the print run because no one will ever have more Pedroia or Braun cards than you. But honestly who cares, clearly the OP isn't being arrogant about his collection since he decided to stick to just Pedroia today. If you guys want to hammer the guy who claims he has the Perfection Collection that's understandable since multiple other members on this board can pull out their player or HOF or whatever other collections and they will trump his.

Just saying that personally who cares if they say they are trying to be a Pedroia supercollector or the most successful Pedroia player collector. And just one word of advice to the OP, unless you have a lot of money and time to devote to a guy like Pedroia maybe you should rethink your collection idea. If you're someone who won't care much if you miss a 1/1 or a really rare card or whatever then go for it, but I've seen people put thousands and thousands of dollars in a collection and miss a few 1/1s and get extremely discouraged and stop collecting. If you aren't someone who cares if you miss a few cards go for it but if that'll drive you crazy you'll just wind up disappointed in the end. Good luck either way with the collection.

I've been losing auctions on Pedroia 1/1s for a couple of years now. I think I've earned the right to call myself an almostcollector. Good luck to the OP.

Good luck with your quest. Great player to collect, too.

Why does it have the "super" collector? Why not just Collector? Unless you have $100,000 to throw into it, you won't be THE super collector. Because someone will make your collection look their little bitch.

As I said in the "super collector" thread made by the Canseco guy, I think the title is sheer arrogance and it makes no sense to call yourself that. Does it make your collection better when you call yourself this? I am sure you realize that there has been 100's of 1/1's already in Pedroia collectors' collections, right? Meaning you will never touch them?

This isn't meant to be stabbing at you, more the whole "supercollector" theme. The best collections on this board are player collections, and NONE of the best collectors here call themselves a "supercollector". Take that for what it is worth.

If you were that someone, could you then call yourself a "super collector"? Just curious... I'd LOVE to meet the guy who could make my Belle collection look like a little bitch. Would actually make my day... maybe we'd start the "Official Albert Belle Collector Thread"...

This is no knock on the original post, call yourself whatever kind of collector you want. Who cares. The one thing I never understood, and is constantly used by many, is "personal collection". How personal is it? Do you make it dinner, call to check in on it, tuck it in to bed? Why does everyone use this. Once again, not directed at one person but the masses.

It's used to identify cards a person owns and plans to keep. Other parts of the "collection" can be acquired.

There are supercollectors

But in general it is overused by wanna be collectors who have nice collections or hope to have nice collections

I appreciate everyones comments, by no means do I think I am going to get each and every one of Pedy's cards, but I have to start somewhere. I am going to log what I have and just nibble at it hoping fellow collectors can help me out where they can. If anyone has a card or cards feel free to PM me and I can send you my address. Just put what players or teams you collect and I will find something comparable to help you out. Thanks so much, Brad
