I like to collect not so well known players who made some type of significant mark in the game. Like Deacon Phillippe, Al Bridwell, Fred Snodgrass, Jimmy Austin( the guy Cobb is taking out sliding into 3rd in the classic pic, Fred Merkle, Ed Reulbach, People like that. Along with the occasional HOF'er. My 5 favorite sets are T205, CJ's, T202, M116, and T204. |

5. T212-2 Obaks (1910) Beautiful color and chance to obtain major leaguers who might otherwise either not be available because of scarcity or don't have another card (Buck Weaver etc.) |

Kelly, Radbourne, Hoy, Ewing...I mean, I can't resist a card of any of them, if I see one I can (even almost) afford. So I'll probably never GET all the 19th century HOFers... |

Another type collector. I like types that are different from regular size cards, like the T201 concept, most die-cuts, and stuff that's not on cardboard. Me top five... |

My favorite set will always be the 1974 Topps set. It was the first set I collected as a kid. I have been putting together a T-206 set for the last few years. Other than that I collect prints of old long ago ballparks. |

e105 Mello Mints- e125 cuts - Pinkertons for their clarity of the ball players, t216 KOttons for type backs and Ramly's for the wandering vines ! BUt would still take some 1912 Boston Garters over any if there werent so many multi millionares that can outbid me at any cost...ugh ! Happy trails from Dan Koteles |

It's true, we are an eclectic lot, but of the 36 other posters so far in this thread, there is only one from whose favorite sets I don't have ONE CARD. |

Tough to narrow down my favorites to just five (5) sets. I could only narrow my type collection down to examples of seven (7) vintage catchers. |

Old Judges are definitely 1st favorite.So many players,with different poses and the old uniforms and equipment with so many teams and great players represented,most people could spend a lifetime collecting it and never finish if they so choose. |

I am in pursuit of the impossible dream, 1 card of every major leaguer that appeared on a card between 1908-45. I'd go from 1900-45 but over a 1/3 of the players in the e107 make their only card appearance there. I don't care about condition beyond the fact that I don't want a distracting crease thru the face. Paper loss, stains, and chunks of the card missing are fine as long as the player can be seen and identified. I also prefer cards with a real photo rather litho. There just over 9,000 cards I am looking for and nowhere close to finishing it. I figure it's a good life time project. Collecting this way also satisfies my need for type cards. |

Boy, everyone has such diverse collecting habits. I can't afford more than my #1 pick although there are other sets that interest me (those most similar to my #1 pick). Since before I could drive, these are my favorites (in all cases, heavy emphasis on Detroits). |

1) 1933 Goudey. Beautiful cards. Plus a great number of HOFers. Fell in love with these when I saw my first one at age 11, a kid on my little league team had a Ruth and a Gehrig. |

I collect low-grade (affordable) T206’s. My "style" goes against what 99% of collectors would say, but it works for me. My set will never be complete, but will make a nice “hand me down” later on in life. |

I agree with a lot of the choices here, expecially N162 and T205. But how come no one has mentioned the 38 Goudeys? Maybe they're a little childish, but alomst all cards were made for kids, and since all of us are collecting baseball cards, we've never grown up. |

after lurking for the past 3-4 months, so let me introduce myself. I'm 41 and have been in the US Air Force for the past 19 1/2 years. I'm originally from San Diego CA, and have been collecting baseball and football cards since the mid 1970's. The first non-current set I ever began collecting was T206, back in 1979. By the mid-1980s, I had every card of all the HOFers in T206, with the exception of Wagner and Plank, and of course Vic Willis and George Davis since they weren't yet in the HOF. I also had some other HOFer cards, including N28s of Clarkson, Kelly and Keefe, an N162 and N172 Kelly, a T227 Cobb, a T3 Johnson and an E90-2 Wagner. I sold nearly all my cards in 1991 to buy a car and furnish an apartment upon returning to the states after spending 2 years stationed in Germany. |

This is a great set and I think if we went for a top 10 list, this set would be on almost everyone's list, especially the high numbers. It would have been in my top 5 if I did not list my childhood set 1972 Topps. |

I've enjoyed reading what everyone else collects. In terms of my favorites, I'll only stick to those that I collect, because there are many out there that I like, but can't afford! |

I suppose my collecting style could be called varied, or "buy whatever you like" - I'd call myself a set collector, but I only have two that are finished because I tend to get sidetracked. As a result, I have probably 15 or so sets that are 20-40% finished. I'll finish them eventually, but I'm not in a hurry. |

For me it is all about color. The w517 and batter ups have a variety of choices that look striking together. But the best is the OJs. Although not as intense, they come in olive, tan, orange, brown, grey, black, blue and even pink, red and combinations of colors. Whew. |
