Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

Prospecting- I like losing money over a long period of time.

Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

I always thought that prospecting is kind of the opposite of collecting, as opposed to a category of collecting.

Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

I like all sorts of unique Astros stuff. I mainly focus on rookies so that if someone is on fire I can make a little money off of them and put that towards new cards but I like anything unique.

Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

I may be in the minority of people who enjoy all category's.

A) Enjoy Prospecting- Love investing in players and watching them grow in the minors. It is fun following stats daily and hoping for stellar performances.

B) Enjoy Current MLB Stars - They are who I watch on TV night in and out. They have proven themselves at the major league level.

C) Enjoy HOF's - They have reached the highest point that every player hopes to reach. Without these players the MLB would simply not be the same.

Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

I have ADDOCD. I can’t seem to concentrate on which player or set I absolutely have to have!

Some of my sets (1909-11 T206, 1955 Topps All American) are “major” historical sets.

Some other sets (1970 Kellogg’s 3D Baseball and Football) just bring back memories from growing up. (Up to the point that it can be determined that I actually did grow up!)

My player collections are legitimate HOF players (Tony Gywnn, Reggie Miller) and an eclectic mixture of unfamiliar players (Nate Colbert, Wil Jones, Joe Caldwell).

My HOF GU & Auto collection is basically an excuse to keep my hand in the modern card market.

Re: What do u enjoy collecting and why?

I collect a current player and a few retired.

Current:
Darin Erstad

Retired:
Will Clark
Eddie Murray
Bucky Jacobsen

I really enjoyed watching each of these players play in person and on TV. They all worked hard to be good for their teams and never caused trouble like some of the high profile names. Plus, I enjoy the chase of collecting.

Tony Clark. I used to collect base Bowman sets since I started with 1992, but I stopped in 2006 to focus on the Clark collection.
