If you are a baseball fan, you know who to collect. I collect Pirates so that means Clemente and Wagner, but I did basic sets of other Pirates HOFers.

When I started collecting, it was all about complete sets. Now it is about star players. I sold off most of my sets to do player runs. I did Cobb and Koufax. I am working on Ruth and Stan Musial. When I am done with Musial, I will move on to either Ted Williams or Jackie Robinson and finally Willie Mays last because there are so many cards. Collect the players that you like. As someone said above, cards have gotten so expensive you have to be picky about what you collect. This has caused a move away from commons and minor stars to superstar players.

Based on feedback I underpriced it. Casey2296 was more than gracious and let me off the hook with a bit of a bump.
