I am a player collector (although I have considered at times putting together a vintage set or two). I am curious about people who have more than one collecting focus (sets, players, HOF players or players from particular teams, for example). My question is this: Suppose a single card falls into two of your collecting categories. Do you get two examples of that card or do you use one example for both collections? To make my question clearer, I'll use an example. Suppose you collect Lefty Grove cards and are trying to complete a 1933 DeLong set. Do you get one 1933 DeLong Grove card and say it belongs in both your Grove collection and your 1933 DeLong set, or do you get two 1933 DeLong Grove cards and put one in each collection?
