Default Players with special meaning to me
I collect cards of these players:

Glenn Beckert (First ball player I met. I was 12.)

Eric Soderholm (Fond memories of the 1977 South Side Hit Men. 3rd Base!)

Si Johnson (He's from my hometown of Sheridan, IL) Collection complete as far as I can tell.


Robin Ventura (White Sox. 3rd Base!)

Joe Crede (White Sox. 3rd Base!)

Can you tell 3rd Base is my favorite position and I'm a White Sox fan?

Beckert is such a nice person. Visited with him many times at Cubs camp. He is not in the best of health but still a great guy.

I collect a number of players, mostly with connections to childhood. The player most appropriate for this forum is Oscar Stanage. The first T (206) Card I got was an Oscar Stanage. My dad bought me a pair (also a Hinchman) on a visit. We went to a long-gone card shop in Anaheim, where he bought me a pair. The rest is history.

Default Allie Reynolds and Rocky Colavito
I collect Allie Reynolds and Rocky Colavito cards.

Why? My father grew up in the Bronx as a Yankees fan. He was a pitcher in the minors and semi-pro teams in NYC, including a team called the Mohawks where he played with Rocky Colavito and many other good players.

His favorite pitcher was Allie Reynolds.

I am working on a master set of Allie Reynolds. The basic set is 10 cards, and the master set has another 15 or so. Always looking to buy a nice card of the "Super Chief"

Both of these guys should be in the Hall of Fame.

Tony

Not strictly collected but back in the day I had several Nixey cards as his is the estate my Horner Composite came from. No longer mine but a cool card...

Small world...my Dad grew up a Yankee fan* and Allie Reynolds was his favorite pitcher as well. I have a few of his cards for just that reason.



*=My Dad grew up in Brooklyn, just blocks from Ebbets Field but it wasn't until Game 5 of the 1947 World Series did he step inside.
