Default Type Collectors

All you type collectors, what years do you collect, how many do you have, do you have a list you work from and if so, how many are on it.

I collect up to 1980. I have 265 different types with about 75 more in different stages of being delivered. My current list has 2742 different cards.

My main focus of collecting is T205's, T206's, T212's, and all Topps Yankees cards 1951 to 1979 in PSA 8 and 1980 to 2012 Yankees in PSA 10. There are 2306 Yankee cards on my list, I own close to half of them so far. I made a list from the PSA registry lists and then added many cards they forgot. For the T cards, I only use a basic list so I don't purchase any duplicates. I was thinking about starting a true type set as in one card from each set but the T's and Yankees keep me busy since i'm a front/back collector, theres maybe 10 to 12 thousand different cards between the four sets I collect. I get my Type set fix everytime Leon posts something i've never seen before.

I was trying to let a few folks chime in before I posted. Type collecting has been around since the very start of organized baseball card collecting. Burdick mentioned it several times in his early writings. I think it is very personal to each person and can be what anyone wants it to be. On a formal basis I guess it could be each card with an ACC # attached to it. But it can also be a ton more than that. I started out wanting one of each card with an ACC# all the way up to 1949. Why 1949? Because after that there becomes many more regionals and that makes it even more broad than it is. When I found that I had more cards than cash I sold my 19th century stuff. Now I do 1900-1949 and then also anything I like. So I have multiples of many cards....,and if we add the uncatalogued cards to the list it really becomes almost infinite. The reason I say infinite is just in the last 6 mos. I have probably found approximately 5-6 sets I didn't even know existed and was able to add cards from them to my collection. Then add freaks and errors and it really gets to be fun. And isn't that what it's all about?

See, like I said, I can always count on Leon for a "Type" card fix.

Default type

I follow the ACC and add a few favs along the way via the Standard Catalogue---both fine volumes already mentioned.
I have around 200 different types and have limited myself to one of each type except for when a most desirable hofer captures my attention or if the card matches a Conlon,Thompson,VanOeyen,Burke or Brace photo that I have or will soon have!
I collect from 1900-1939. Once it passes '39 they seem too recent for me and not as 'ancient' or 'pre-war' as I like.
At times, I have singlemindedness which makes me collect certain things for a bit, e.g. I worked on the R's in the last couple of years and remain 3 away.
Great fun---along with the T era packs, vintage photos, and some WG game pieces
all the best,
barry

Default Type collection

I have almost 200 type cards, 1880-1940. No interest in having one of every type, though. I just buy cards I like. Some types I have one of, and others hundreds of. Generally I avoid some of the smaller black-and-white issues or issues with poor likenesses of the players.

Here's 2 PSA type collections I'm working on:
T Card Sampler:

I've got a good start on a Senators/Twins type collection from 1901-1991. I have yet to get everything I have scanned and organized -- especially the 1960s-on sets. Since I started buying the pre-60s items, I've kept an inventory of what I have, the price I paid, etc., just like I did completing my '62T set. Here's a link to some of the items I do have scanned and available for viewing:

I have (what I think at least) a very extensive Phillies type card collection. I started on it in 1989 and actually spent 3 years getting the original list together. It contained all known Phillies cards from 1886 to 1989...the original list was done in an 8 font and was over 40 pages long. It has since increased to a 10 point font and is now 20 pages long. To date, I have over 300 sets represented and over 3500 unique Phillies cards. It has been tough lately finding material to add as much of my list is the truly rare or truly expensive (and I am on a teacher's budget).

I started a pre-war type collection a few months ago. 1900-1942. My list is all the type cards listed on the Old Card Board website. I have 89 right now and there are 457 entries on the list. One of these days I'll shorten that list and narrow my focus a bit. So far I've only narrowed it by these parameters: no round cards or pins, must have an actual picture or drawing of a player on the card. I'm still not sure I want to consider many of the larger size premiums as cards.

I also have a post war type collection which only includes topps, bowman, leaf regular issues from 1948 to 1979. My goal was to get at least 3 examples of each issue, and at least 2 of each hall of famer in each decade.
Here are my totals: 1948-1959: 117 cards, 1960's: 109, 1970's: 190. The only card left on my want list from this type collection is a 1957 topps Brooks Robinson.

I also have a Barry Larkin collection (1986-2005) that qualifies as a type collection: currently 1188 out of 2633 on the list. Only work on that one in spurts when I feel like scouring check out my cards or sportlots for cards that I need and are listed at or below Beckett prices.

I suppose I could be considered a type collector.

My collection is quite broad in scope, 1887-last week. If I come across a card that seems right at the right price I'll probably go for it, and some sets I've only got one card. Some because of budget, some just because I either haven't seen enough or any that I like at the price they go for.

But I don't really go about it with any plan, so the collection has some odd distribution. More R300s than 33 goudeys, stuff like that.

I am a type collector, and find it a great avenue to collect on a budget. I collect pre 1990 types. I have more than 1,350 different samples. I really enjoy getting pre-war samples and the variety the collecting brings. My goal is to get to 2,000. Here is my breakout by decade:

1880's 3
1900's 7
1910's 23
1920's 18
1930's 23
1940's 23
1950's 59
1960's 107
1970's 275
1980's 822
