I collect Puckett but not as astutely as Ripken.

I collect Andy Van Slyke and Bert Blyleven, although I haven't put a lot of time into them like I do my Ripken collection.

In hockey, I collect Ryan Miller and any former Minnesota State University - Mankato players (David Backes, Ryan Carter, Steve Wagner, Jon Kalinski, Grant Stevenson, Tim Jackman, etc...)

Josh Johnson & Dennis Northcutt hard core.

Josh McCown & Gino Guidugli to a lesser extent, but still foolishly ...

I collect Frank Thomas with fervor, with dedication but to a lesser degree, Roberto Clemente, and to a much lesser degree Tim Lincecum.

Jonny Gomes (384/393 98%, 454/584 78% with 1/1s), Joey Gomes (65/77 84%, 67/97 69% with 1/1s) and Matt Diaz (93/100 93%, 97/139 70% with 1/1s).

Not really "crazy", as Joey Gomes and Diaz have so few cards. The craziest part would be the second collection of Jonny Gomes that I have---248/341 (73%, plus 13 incoming cards). The discrepancy of 52 cards (393 main collection, 341 secondary) is because the second collection is in a binder, and thus doesn't include oversized or extremely thick cards.

I used to collect Edwin Encarnacion as much as I did Dan Haren but since Edwin got traded I have stopped. I have tried to move my collection but it seems nobody wants an Edwin Encarnacion collection. ::facepalm::

I collect Clemens , Boggs , Pedro ....

When you collect a player like CLEMENS , GRIFFEY , AROD , JETER , etc ..... that have 10,000 + cards on the market - it is like collecting for three different players !

I would say, "Cetifiable!"...I'll bet you really get bummed when you bid against yourself for that Gomes card you need for both collections! :lol:

I would wager that many player collectors probably collect more than one.
Me, I collect Ozzie and Matheny.

I used to think that I needed to focus on just one or two player collections. I decided to go ahead and collect the guys I want. So from baseball I collect Adam Dunn, Pete Rose, and Chris Sabo. I also have a small Ken Griffey Jr. collection, but I don't really pick much Jr. stuff up anymore. Then I have a player collection of Rey Maualuga in football.
