Here's one that isn't on the list
My primary/priority collecting interest has been to collect most things Roberto Clemente from 1950-1973. The collection includes regular issues, inserts, food issues, test issues, publications, ticket stubs, newspapers, store model gloves, pins, coins, personal items, photos, etc. As my collection reached a point where it was hard to find anything to add, and in an effort to introduce my kids to collecting, in 2015 I(we) started to build Pirate team sets from 1952-1973. During that time my older son took a liking to prewar cards - that sent me down a pretty deep prewar rabbit hole - added a bunch of Pirate team sets from that era and also grab odd type cards that are visually appealing.
"Hard to find" has always intrigued me - so in addition to the above, I assembled a small collection of the biggest stars Venezuelan cards - the only one I am currently missing is the 1967 Aaron. Also a few other odds and ends (1959 Bazooka Mantle complete box and trying to build a 1962 Bazooka complete box set)
