Are you collecting by location?

I figured with my rather limited funds that collecting Maine memorabilia would be a reasonable task. I could not have been more wrong. I've managed to keep my focus within 25 miles of my house, but that still leaves Carrigan, Willard Mains and Sidd Farrar.

My primary focus is Pittsburgh but also keep my eyes open for South Carolina items.

I'm from New York, live in New York, my family's business has been around for 101 years and has been the largest employer in the Bronx for as long, so, I collect Yankees cards. I am trying to complete Yankee/Highlander subsets of every set that interests me (there are many). At the moment, I only have a few actually complete, but I have representatives from many pre and post war. With this approach, I can switch focus from set to set whenever I want, and there's usually something on eBay at any given moment which fits into my criteria.

Here are a few examples:

Dr D. and Louisiana residents.

I'm especially curious if you have found any of the LA issues out of the hobby down there?

Rob,

I have yet to find much of anything out of the state since Hurricane Katrina. However...with much effort, I have been able to secure the following T213 Coupon merchandise for my Louisiana collection from various auctions.

I think If I was from a specific area that played a important role in pre war baseball, then I might collect players from that area but in my case,..I am not so NO, I don't collect per a specific area..
