This is a great thread. I think I wear the label of narrow minded collector. For me it’s a question of budget. I am fortunate enough to have some decent disposable income, but my budget isn’t unlimited. For example I love the t206 set but have no hope of ever owning it in its entirety. So how do I decide who to buy? With respect to their collectors, I will pass on the Shag Shaughnessy’s and Ambrose Puttman’s and get the names that I learned as a kid, Cobb, Young, Johnson. It’s not a case that I don’t appreciate the “lesser” players, I simply can’t afford them all.
