Questions for "type" collectors

[Exhibitman]

I wouldn't call myself a hardcore type card collector but I end up collecting types as I try to get cards of the players I collect. If I like the set, I will probably collect more than one card from it. In prewar, I collect Lefty O'Doul cards, so his cards are my go-to types:

Leader Novelty:



W553:



US Caramel:



and so on.

For postwar, I collect Aaron, Koufax and Al Rosen, so that covers a lot of ground there.





If one of my players isn't in a set, I usually choose another player whose card appeals to me. I always try for a HOFer or popular player, like this Foxx I got as an RDM Studio [Burke] type:



I don't care for commons unless the set is really rare. This 'common', for example, is just dandy with me:



As you can see, I am not a condition bug either.

I usually just take whatever I can get my hands on at a decent price, but I'm a little more liberal with my idea of what constitutes a "decent price" when it's a player or image I particularly like.

The best part about "type" collecting is you can always change it up to suit your tastes as they morph and change... I have sometimes collected the same player on different issues, and then sold them and changed them up... currently have a mix of HOF and commons... vertical and horizontal poses etc..
