Jackie Jensen. Amazing althlete, Red Sox connection, very honest about life, and for some reason his cards just look like artwork to me.

Elmer Miller of the New York Yankees in 1921 to 1922. Was the Yankees center fielder in the 1921 World Series, first Yankee ever to get a hit in a World Series, and was driven in by Ruth himself becoming the first Yankee to ever score in a World Series. He is also my great great uncle on my mother's side of the family.

I don't have a large collection of any certain player, but if I come across a Larry Doyle I usually hang onto it. He was one of the stars of the tobacco card era. 3rd in NL MVP in 1911 and won it in 1912. Then he led the league in hits, doubles and BA in 1915.

I pick up Allie "Superchief" Reynolds, Virgil "Fire" Trucks, and Rocky Colavito. All because they were my Dad's favorites. He played with Rocky in the Bronx on a local team called the MoHawks. My dad was a pitcher and his favorites were Allie Reynolds and Virgil Trucks. I buy the 49 Bowman Reynolds and Trucks whenever I see nice ones, and same for 1957 Colavito's. I think I have a hoarding problem, but it is specific to these cards.

You could say, I had a fixation on one. Why? Not many Maine baseball players of real note and it pissed off my ex-wife.

Mine is George Mullin. Similar family name and some of the same facial features have always made me think that maybe he's a distant relative. He seems like a distant relative that never signed many autographs, though. Here's a shot of the non-t206 pieces of my "Uncle George" collection.
