If you did not have to collect what you do, what would you collect?

I collect pre-WWI Detroit players. If I go outside of that, potential targets are or would be T205 National Leaguers (can't get DTW players in that group, by definition). I especially like the T205 NL'ers that have the little bit of shading just behind the player's head and shoulders - like Lush. It adds so much depth and beauty to the cards.

I would also pick up Obaks of players that never played for Detroit. I just like the Obaks. Although I may venture into Zeenuts soon too. Then probably E95 players that are not Detroiters - such a nice set.

Maybe T206's with the pink skies (Ritter, Oberlin, etc).

In another recent post someone (I think it was whoever just finished the N172's by getting McPhee) said something about collecting what you like, not what you need. I've been thinking about that one! Fortunately for now, there are enough Dtw type cards yet that I need that I can still get cards that fit both the need and want lists. But I am also now starting to eyeball some others that I just plain like the look of.

Stay tuned. You never know!
