1950-2011 graded HOF, stars, notables. Everyone who's 1960+ is a RC. It used to be 2001 based on the Pujols/Ichiro hobby milestone. I expanded it to 2011 a few years ago because I wanted to bring things up to the Trout era.
Those are my main 2 collections. There are others, such as a Mark Grace ungraded collection in a binder and various oversized Cubs vintage/pre-war.

Nice, my younger brother who got me into the hobby was a huge Mark Grace collector.
I started out collecting Wade Boggs cards and then quickly added error cards of any kind to my want list. Over the years I have collected pretty much everything card related. I still collect cards but it is pretty rare I find something I want. A hobby friend and fellow member got me into bats. I have a cool Eddie Mathews Spline bat and then I have around 40 different Wade Boggs bats. I have pretty much everything from a little kids T-Ball model to one of his 1/1 All-Star bats. They have become kinda like cards. Because I have so many different models it is very rare I run across one I don't already have.
