Would love to hear how others collect:
1) What player(s) or teams do you collect?
2) How long did it take you to amass your basic sets? Master sets?
3) What was the "coolest" pick up for your player collection?
4) Did you, like me, wait to pick up the "highest dollar" card last?
Excited to hear some interesting stories and to get some tips on how to pick up the last "whales"!

1) What player(s) or teams do you collect? Brooks Robinson
2) How long did it take you to amass your basic sets? Not too long on the Basic Set. My problem is when I first started to collect I pretty much picked up cards in mediocre condition. I'll try to upgrade as I go, but don't really think I'll do the registry thing.
Master set? Still don't have all of the vintage cards listed in PSA Master registry. If the Master Set stays the same I'll get those cards some day...
3) What was the "coolest" pick up for your player collection? I'm not sure, but I guess my "coolest" pickup lately hasn't been a card, but a Japanese magazine w/Brooks, along w/F. Robby and Boog Powell on the cover. Took several years to locate, but finally found one in decent condition.
4) Did you, like me, wait to pick up the "highest dollar" card last? Not really. Kinda pick up items as I can afford and when they're available. There's several Brooksie cards that are in the unobtainable realm, even if they do come up for sale.
