What is your niche collection focus?

Nice cards, guys. I always gravitate to type cards or cards that are great (for me) to look at...

Pre-WWI Brooklyn cards...

Trying to get a card, original photo or autograph of everyone who has played for the NY Yankees. Nice example is Thompson photo of Tacks Neuer. Played 7 games in 1907 as his entire ML career.

In my quest for a career run for Mickey Mantle, I've developed a love and appreciation for his alternate issue cards. I try to collect them whenever I can, if I'm not trying to dedicate my money to finishing his career run.

Currently my two favorite issues from that subgroup are his Berk Ross card, from 1952 and his Red Heart card, from 1954.

T206 HOF Portraits and T206 Herzog Boston Back Run are my current niche endeavors. Kind of wondering what I'll tackle next as these get close to completion.

Love hearing about all the different preferences.

I love cards that were issued in New Orleans -- and I am always amazed by how many sets they made there.

I lived there for a decade, arriving 12 months before Katrina. The place I lived was about half a mile from the site of Weil Bakery/Holsum Bread and 1 mile from 1036 Joseph Street where the original owner of my T216 Ty Cobb lived (I wrote about her here: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=249451).
