In the sense that I collect Iowa Hawkeyes most aggresively, along with some Vikings, Twins and Yankees stuff. But other stuff I collect sorta on the side:
Michigan and Nebraska alum - This is more of a recent thing, but Michigan has always been my #2 college football team, and being from Iowa, I have to love Nebraska too - a state with no pro team that really gets behind their college. The nice thing about Nebraska is guys like Adam Carriker, Eric Crouch and Ahman Green are fairly cheap to collect. Suh will likely be more expensive, so I'll pick my battles with him. I also like Alex Gordon and Joba Chamberlain, and am looking to pick up refractor autos of them, as well. I debated collecting Wolverines stuff on the side for a while, and decided to take the plunge when I found an SPA 3 clr patch/auto of Chad Henne at a card shop up here.
Other Big Ten alum, like Marion Barber III, Antwaan Randle El, AJ Hawk, Kyle Orton, Ron Dayne, etc - I don't go overboard on their stuff, but I have a handful of their cards in my collections that I'll be keeping just because - no flipping intentions. I'm also thinking about collecting some Javon Ringer stuff because he has some pretty nice cards that can be had for cheap.
UFC - I don't own any UFC cards, but someday I fully plan on breaking out the wallet for Brock Lesnar's Topps rookie auto, as well as the Randy Couture A&G auto.
Prince Fielder - again, I don't own anything of his, but I'd like to pick up his Bowman Chrome refractor auto. His prices are fairly reasonable, compared to Braun, and I just kinda like the guy.
I also have Bob Baffert's A&G auto - I love horse racing, and thought it was really cool that he was included in the A&G set in 2007. I knew I had to have the card when I saw it, and luckily it didn't sell for much.
Press Pass/Elite/UD Black/Topps Magic - I'm a sucker for the college uniform (that sounded fruity), and I love getting cards of the guys in their NCAA uniforms. That being said, I really don't like Prestige or Sage. I really like the NCAA McFarlanes, too.
Random autos I'd like to add: Tim Tebow (will probably go for a Chrome or Sweet Spot), Brian Urlacher (Contenders rookie auto, maybe a nice patch, too), and Aaron Rodgers (again, probably a Contenders, since those are the more "affordable" rookie autos).
Anyway, what do you guys collect that the rest of us may not suspect?
