One player collector
90% of my collection is Gehrig. Just focused on him early and find his life story so compelling. Not that I don't grab the random Ruth, Matty, Clemente or Jackie, but my focus is principally one guy.
Are there many other one player collectors on the board? (Using one player to be the 90% number?) If so, who do you got? Last edited by Snapolit1; 08-07-2020 at 10:06 AM. |

Not Pre War but I have been a Wade Boggs collector since I started collecting in the 80s.
I have picked up a truck load of other stuff over the last 30+ years but Wade is still by far my main focus. Last edited by bnorth; 08-07-2020 at 10:41 AM. |

There should be at least one Boggs card with him drinking a beer. Just sayin.

I still need one of the bumper stickers about Wade getting laid for my oddball collection. |

I’ve got some oddball stuff from when I first started collecting but now stick pretty exclusively to Mickey Mantle, who’s cards make up roughly 95% of my collection.

I collect reprint sets. The only original cards I have are of Eddie Mathews, my favorite player.

Deaf players
Dummy Hoy and Dummy Taylor. My son is deaf and that got me started. I have most everything. Still seeking a Tolstoi and Broad Leaf Taylor and a N173 Hoy.
Realbigfatdog - That is a beautiful display. Bobby Orr too on the hockey side. Last edited by ubiqty; 08-07-2020 at 12:23 PM. |

Not 90% of collection, but
Well I can't say it's 90% of my cards but I do have several hundred New York Yankee (and Indians before that) pitcher Allie Reynolds. I started out as a 50's set collector and I still have a card each needed for 53T (Mays) and 49 Bowman (Campy) sets. But most of my focus has been on Allie Reynolds in the last 5 years.
This picture includes a sampling of my master set with some extras. Always looking for others, even doubles, triples, quadruples, and more. Tony

That Chase collection is great. Ben, that Boggs shirt. I've never focused on one player, but Harry Wright would be my choice. Unfortunately, the pickings are slim.

Not a large collection, but some interesting pieces. Got the record and the bat at the same time about 10+ years ago. Got the auto about 5 years ago, and just added the Musial card. I'd like to add a Hartland statue eventually.

Stan the Man is great to collect from a card perspective, as neither of his rookies really break the bank. His 48 Leaf is usually priced a little bit higher, than his 48 Bowman, from what I've seen. Both available in lower grades for under $1000

Ted Williams.
Finished playing before I was born. Finished managing before I got into baseball. But has been my childhood baseball hero since age 10. Have over 300 different cards and 500-600 items. To my knowledge, only 1 card that I have not seen/owned/own now and that is the 1949 Baas Cheri-Cola Ted Williams--(7 5/8" x 9 1/2", B&W, red ad back) Someone make my 2020 year better and post a scan.

Much like Steve, the OP, my collection centers on Lou Gehrig. I have all sorts of items, from cards, to original photos, autographs, and ither ephemera. He is even the reason i started to collect thev1934 Goudey set autographed. It is the "Lou Gehrig Says" set.
I collect other things as well, but he is the only individual player i focus on. The link below is to the flickr album with scans of most of my Gehrig collection. https://www.flickr.com/gp/96571220@N08/WZ1e4M Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Trying to sell the majority of my collection. Decided to focus on a few players with the 20% that's left. Kept the Entire Lombardi items. Not everything is in there, I need to display an Orbit Gum pin, and the SF nodder needs to be a NYG nodder, but all in due time.
Other players I can focus on are Barry Larkin, Frank Robinson, Joey Votto, Tris Speaker, Stan Musial, and Cal Ripken. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
