Name a Player Collection you want to start but haven't and why.

[klute14]

I would love to start a Gorman Thomas collection but I already have too many going now!

 

[ThoseBackPages]

Ty Cobb. Expensive.

 

[bcubs]

I wouldn't mind doing a Sandberg collection but being a completist I could not take all the 1-1's and other stuff they put out now.

 

[Anthony K.]

Mike Piazza.

Huge fan growing up, had a ton of base and low level inserts over a decade ago, he was and is just an expensive player to collect (beinh linked to LA and NY markets hurts).

The two things you need to start a player collection are desire and money.

I have desire to collect Jon Jay. I don't have any money.

Not baseball but I was just perusing eBay and COMC last night looking at Kevin McHale cards. I used to be a big Celtics fan in the 80's and he was my favorite. I'd probably collect him.

Problem is, though, whenever I want to start another collecting project I'm gungho for a couple of weeks and then I realize "This is just taking money away from my Olerud collecting" and I abandon it.

I have thought about doing vintage runs of Twins players but I don't want to pull money away from my Kirby Puckett pc. I did trade for a Tony Oliva Topps run last year though.

 

[AmishDave]

Dan Uggla. I collected him before. Wish I didn't dump most everything. Last thing I need is another PC that I get sidetracked on ...

 

[exigussrex]

Ty Cobb. Expensive.

Ditto!

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Matt Read.

While I understand that the majority of hockey products are opened in CANADA, I don't want to spend $5 in shipping on a $2 card.

He also doesn't have a ton of stuff out.

 

[hive17]

JJ Watt. No sooner do I start looking for stuff, then his price trend up and he gets a story in ESPN The Mag, <-- meaning 5 more people will read about him :benson:

 

[notjomommasclint]

Tom rathman.. He was my favorite cornhusker! He could run through that wall the brave 300 built to scare the troops of the bad guy in 300

A "300" reference huh? Well, there goes the last vestages of your hetero street-cred...

 

[jbhofmann]

Griff

 

[jay1065]

Pedro Martinez. Have enough on my plate with the Burks and Pre-WWII collections.

 

[Slette]

Nomar or Piazza. My two favorite players going through college, but their legions of fans don't make their stuff overly affordable.

Football-wise, I'd love to pick up some RG3 Chrome ref autos, but their prices are far beyond my means

 

[predatorkj]

Either Frank Thomas or Ken Griffey Jr. . I loved watching both, especially jr but they would cost serious money, didn't play for Houston, and have way too many collectors. I'd be fighting tooth and nail for every auto or rare card. And in Griffey's case, the money would be just ridiculous!

 

[cmixer]

Chipper.
And not the high-end ...
I just want to collect cool inserts, die cuts & refractors.


If a huge lot cam along, i'd buy it to jump start a collection.

Willie Stargell

Still deciding on collection parameters.

 

[Mighty Bombjack]

I am a big Todd Helton fan. Individual cards wouldnt be too expensive, but he has a crazy huge amount of cards because he was THE Rockies player to put into insert and GU sets for many years. If i started collecting him i would want them all, and I could go broke buying them all up.
