Narrow-minded Collectors

[doug.goodman]

While I get your general point, I pretty much disagree.

Right now, on the front page of the post-war-pre-80 we have Ed Stevens, Brooks Robinson, Johnny Bench, Warren Spahn and Sandy Koufax.

On the WWII and older page I see Lefty Grove, Sadaharo Oh and the Khumbu Icefall mentioned in titles, and a quick link click gets you Rube Walberg, Leo Durocher, Doc Farrell, Al Spohrer, Luke Sewell, Jack Russell, Al Thomas, Roy Campanella, Joe Jackson, Christ Mathewson, Ray Fisher, etc, etc, etc.

I just thought of a funny phrase right now it's "narrow-minded Net54 readers"

I think your list of 10 players makes for a good start. They're iconic.

However, collecting not those players is more fun, IMO, and more affordable. My list of individual players I collect is:

Tris Speaker, Ernie Lombardi, Barry Larkin, Johnny Bench, Ken Griffey Jr, Cal Ripken Jr, Bucky Walters, Paul Derringer, Joey Votto, Derek Jeter, Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio, and Aaron Boone.

I also collect Wheaties, which just arent as popular as they used to be.

I've also recently been buying pennants due to what I see FS on Net54.

My favorite threads are recent acquisitions for memorabilia, Hey Pennant Guys, memorabilia rooms/displays, show off your Cincinnati Reds items.

I think the longer a board member sticks around, and the more they explore, the less likely they are to be stuck with the top 10 players, and they may branch out into non card items.
