Default What do you collect and why? Show us some cards!

Posted By: Al C.risafulli

I collect 1938 Goudey baseball in higher-grade, and have a complete set (currrently being regraded at SGC) that I've been upgrading for several years.



I also have a collection of 50 (mostly prewar) HOF cards that I consistently add to and subtract from. This is a relatively new thing that evolved out of a HOF type card set that I began getting bored with because I had no interest in acquiring cards of people like Sparky Anderson. Therefore I decided to limit my collection to just 50 cards - each time I purchase a new card for the collection, I have to choose another to get rid of. Here is one:



You can view all of the 50 here, if you're so inclined: http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page1/page1.html

I also collect 1921 E121s with the Henry Johnson Confectioners back. If you have any, I'm a buyer.

I am also about 40% of the way through a nice, low-to-mid grade T205 set that I enjoy very much.

I have some other stuff too, but the above is really what's in "heavy rotation" in my collection.

Why do I collect what I do? I have no frickin' idea.
