My card collecting from when I was kid slightly predates my Cub-fandom, so as a result I tend to collect everything (where possible) and not just my team. Though I do plenty of that too. I digress...

I collect singles and stars traditionally - probably first and foremost, but as I have gotten back into the hobby as an adult, I have become interested in certain other vintage sets and other players. I don't have a ton of rules when I see something that catches my eye, other than the fact I don't do a ton of prewar. I love how prewar cards look and the history of those players and sets, but for my collecting dollar - the truth anymore is most of those cards have passed my budget by in comparison to what I can still get on the postwar side for the same amount - that I still want to get. My postwar wantlist still shows no sign of ending in terms of stuff I still would like to acquire, so I don't see that model changing significantly anytime soon.
