How many team set collectors are out there?

Hi all. I have been a Roberto Clemente collector for many years. My collection is almost complete - with the likelihood of my finding the remaining items I have my eyes out for being slim to none. Enter my 2 young sons - My older one is 7 and his favorite player is Roberto Clemente (Nolan Ryan - second) - anyway I was trying to think about how to get him (and my younger one) started with card collecting - I came up with and he agreed with a 1952 Topps Pirate team set (ultimately to expand to additional Pirate team sets) - So we are started - I know there are a bunch of Pirate high numbers and expect they will be quite a challenge - other than that just slowly enjoying the pursuit and teaching my sons about the fun of card collecting - we are collecting well centered mid grade (4-6) raw or graded cards.

Howard---I think it is great that your sons are entering the hobby and doing so with a project that you are involved with as well. Mine never got into baseball cards. One collected Star Trek cards for awhile ( and spoke Klingon), one hockey cards and one soccer cards, but none of them have kept an interest in card collecting. I wish now that I had made more of an effort to get one or more of them interested in what I collect

I collect Brooklyn Dodgers Topps and Bowman (main sets complete), Topps NY Mets (main sets complete) and Bowman NY Football Giants. It's a nice way to collect if you don't want a full set.

Dave why don't you get your whole family organized and start collecting miniature little wooden umbrellas
