[Fandruw25]

Well, on thebench I do have a ribbon saying "2008 The Bench Player Collector".....does that make me a super collector? :lol: :lol:

Yes, I believe that it does. Actually your sweet collection does.

According to fcb Thumpersports and EricChavezCollector3 are the biggest super collectors on the board. They win the player collectors contests almost every year.


I would also say anyone on this list would be considered a super collector.

If you manage to get 1500 different cards of a single player, you are spending A LOT of time on collecting you player. This is such a tough number to achieve and can only be done through years of due diligence.

Must a "Supercollector" be a player collector?

Definitely not, so I gave you credit on page 3.

Of course! Anyone who collects sets obviously isn't a 'super' collector lol :lol: :lol: :lol:








kidding of course...in case it isn't obvious

I prefer the term PSA uses for their registries, "master," to describe a collection or collector. For me, the word "super" has the connotation of best/greatest, which is subjective. Whereas the word "master" implies seeking everything whether it is a player/set/team.

I don't consider my self an O'Neill super-collector although I've applied for the title on other sites. It was more so that I would be distinguished from casual O'Neill collectors and would get offered cards first.

does the fact that I'm an onlycollector make me a supercollector by default?

zambrano38 is probably the only true supercollector of a certain player that i know of, but there are a ton of nice player collections on this site for sure

You need to pay more attention then. There are many collections on this board that would fit the supercollector definition.

Sure I agree there are a ton of nice collections, but zambrano38's is in my opinion the only true supercollector and his is far better than any others I have ever seen.

I agree that his collection is fantastic but for someone that has almost 10,000 posts you haven't paid much attention to the player collections. Have you seen the Grace, Clark, Brunell, Schilling, Ripken, Gwynn, Henderson, McGwire, etc........ collections on here? Come on man! You need to open your eyes a bit. Zambrano38's collection is fantastic but what makes him the only "true supercollector" in your opinion? There are others with more game used equipment, more cards, decades longer time spent collecting, more value, etc... So what is it?

Out of those collections, all of which are great, I still feel zambrano38's tops them all. He has the total package of game used equipment, 1/1's, total cards, ticket stubs etc of his guy that I just don't see in those other collections. That is what makes him the only true supercollector.

There's something about 1/1 Chrome cards that's an almost must for the Super collectors. Autos, Patches, Wood cards are very nice, but the Super collector needs superfractors too.

By that description I am also a super collector. I have a game used jersey and bat. I have ticket stubs from his debut and first start. I have 2 1/1s and 80% completion on base. Also a 11x14So that would mean there are 2 Super collectors here right?


I do not plan on putting the Super collector status in my signature just saying

*edit*^^^^^that was sneaky^^^^^

dude, give it up, you are a super descalso collector
he is a super zambrano collector
he is a super vizquel collector
blah blah freakin blah
collect what gives you enjoyment, iconic titles mean nothing

worrying about how others define your collection makes you the spectator too (think about it)
it can also make you broke, divorced, impotent, homeless, and suicidal. ask some of the self-proclaimed supercollectors themselves. they will tell you the truth, trust me :twisted:

As I said though I could care less about that Super collector title. I could care less if I have the greatest Descalso collection, is it nice yes do I care no, is it expensive yes. I did this thread to spark discussion and it worked. It is a rather fake title Im just saying if he is going to call one person with a certain criteria a Supercollector he should include them all.

btw
i love descalso, when theriot is gone next year daniel will be the superutilityman (if we keep furcal, which i hope we do).

I think Berman leaves, Schumaker/Craig split time in RF, Theriot goes somewhere else, Furcal becomes the Shortstop Descalso plays second and on days he needs off Schumaker plays 2nd.
