What do you collect?

[PSACJ]

I'm collecting the 1915 Cracker Jack Set in high grade. I also collect the 1915 Cracker Jack Players Autographs in GPC or Index cards.

Lastly, I also collect the same 1915 Cracker Jack Players in Charles M. Conlon large Type 1 Photos. Everything in PSA or PSA/DNA.

Top priority
- #5 type collection of all numbered sets, 1880-1980 (~700 total)
- Have all the "easy" MLB/MiLB #5s (~600), so have moved into more esoteric sets & discoveries
- Latest #5 hit was 1951 Packard Sports Library, a 4"x6" sports pamphlet series printed as promo material for Packard dealerships. #5 profiled the 1924 Giants/Senators World Series, won by Muddy Ruel's dash from second in game 7 extras.

Next level
- Baseball & non-sport 1930s sets by Goudey and its competitors. Some of the best art, players, and non-sport subjects in card history. In parallel, I'm researching the history of Boston-area gum and card production.
- Master sets: 1935 Goudey (for the puzzle backs) and 1936 Goudey (for the flipping game)

Third level
- 1950s sets
- 1960s Post
- 1970s Laughlin/Fleer
- Oddballs with distinctive design or fun vintage baseball info
