type collector
I am a Cleveland Indians type collector. My goal would be to get one type of each card, pin, stamp etc. that showed a Cleveland Indian. This started in the late 70's when I got back into cards. (Yep all my childhood cards were gone and by my own choice, DOH!!). Since I retired in 2008 the collection has blossomed.
I know some cards I will never get because of cost or scarcity, JUST SO for example. I do have hope of getting an E-107 one of these days. I have 18 "cards" still on the list that I feel I can legitimately find and afford.
I also collect the current cards. That is a mind-boggling and time consuming effort. I guess I could make it simple by getting a 2014 Topps card, one Bowman etc, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have to try to get one with each kind of border etc.
For ex. I have 8 different styles of card from the recent Bowman chrome and there are some types I have yet to get.
That's a brief look into one guy's obsession.
