Who is the least collected player in the past 15 years?

Someone mentioned Bobby Abreu. For a guy with as good career as he has had there does not seem to be a ton of interest in him. Ditto for Jason Bay.

Jason Bay

There are three members here off the top of my head (pghbuccos, The Resident BAY Fan, thefatguy) that would strongly disagree

That would bring the total Bay collectors up to about 5 in the whole world then.

I still have my Brooks Kieschnick collection. I might be the only one ever!!

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the guy whose gu or insert was in EVERY box I have busted from 2000-2006.

COREY PATTERSON!!

Ha! Me too! Corey Patterson and Brooks Keishnick!

Funny you guys mention all these names. I collect probably 75% of the players mentioned. Of course keeping up with set building and my Bagwell and Stackhouse collections hurt my budget for collecting other stuff. But I enjoy the hell out of going to shows and being able to pull cards of these players. I have nice stashes of Grieve, Glaus, Rolen, Pedro, Beltre, Sheets, Sexson, Bichette, Castilla, Burrell, Tejada, Helton, Drew(J.D and Stephen), etc.

Some of these names weren't mentioned but the kind of stuff that can be found for cheap leads me to believe that they aren't heavily collected if at all. There might be a few guys who have super collections of them but if only one or two people are avidly going after their stuff at one time, I'd say they aren't really collected. But they are all decent players which is why I am happy to pick some up here or there.

You mentioned six of the players I collect, three who are in my top 5 (Glaus, Rolen, and Helton) (JD Drew, Beltre and Sheets are the others). I've found some great cards of those players for pennies, even JD Drew, who would normally be at a premium in Red Sox country. I'll gladly buy his cards but I can't wait to see him gone!
