If anyone is interested in a semi-scientific study, there is a Player Collection thread on Blowout forums. If the length of the lines are indicative of anything other than character count, then the five most popular players to collect are:

Ken Griffey. Jr
Bryce Harper
Derek Jeter
Nolan Ryan
David Wright

Added in edit: The question was who the most collected players are, not the most collectible. Out in the workaday world, there is a difference.
And only one of those players are active, which proves my point. All those other players that Blowout guys collected, Mattingly, Gooden, Canseco, Thomas, etc. they have moved on from when their performance declined. Ryan, Griffey and Jeter would be on my top 20, not top 10.

You have to remember the majority of Blowout are collectors of a specific age that grew up in the junk wax era. Not a good representation of the hobby either.
