A few years ago, I read a reader's letter in the Sports Collector's Digest that I will never forget. The reader told a story of how almost every time he went to the local card shop to look through the 1973 Topps cards to try to finish his set, another collector was often there looking through the same set of cards. The reader assumed that the other collector was also trying to finish his 1973 Topps set. One day, the reader asked him what he collected. The other collector told the reader that he collected only 1973 Topps cards of players who wore glasses and did not play for the New York Mets or the New York Yankees.
I can't remember exactly how the story went, but I hope you get the idea that you can collect whatever you want. If you started another thread and asked people what their "collecting rules" were, you would get a lot of interesting responses.
