An appropriate name for my collection, which would accurately describe my focus, might be 'undecided'. Every baseball book I read, good Net54 thread, etc. causes me to re-think the focus of my collection.
I have started and abandoned many many sets for reasons listed above [Commons. Darn Commons!]. I have considered and abandoned even more sets because the novelty of the idea wore off before I even started the actual collecting part
For me, player and team collecting seems to be the most fun. In addition to some pre-war pursuits, my main post-war pursuit right now is putting together a run of Jackie Robinson Topps cards. I still need a '52 and a '53, and then I may expand to other issues. We'll see.
Regards,
Richard.
