Anyone strictly buy a single specific player?

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.

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.
