Cards we choose to collect

[timn1]

I definitely get your interest in the minor league sets.

I guess I am strange, but after I got into prewar and therefore had to reconcile myself to not collecting complete sets (with some exceptions), I got more and more drawn to collecting cards of as many different players as possible. I definitely want to have A CARD of Cobb, Wagner, and the greatest of the great, but the idea of paying thousands to get another Cobb doesn't appeal.

So one of my wantlists is a player wantlist that looks like this:
