My longest running collection has been getting one signed Topps from each year (52-modern) of a HOFer. '52 of Ashburn, '53 of Spahn, '54 of Ford, etc... I've got maybe 25 or so, on up to more modern ones like an '83 Ripken. But the whole auto/forgery industry is getting so nasty, I've kind of lost heart.

Now, I'm just trying to get a nice card from most of the "legends" from the Ruth era on up. So far, I've got Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle... wait, am I done?

I am also grabbing RCs from recent HOFers or likely HOFers while they're still "cheap". Pujols, Blyleven, Glavine, Raines, etc.

I also collect Harmon Killebrew, mainly because he is such a decent person. Musial too.

Jarrod- picking up RC's of future HOF'ers is a direction I am going as well. Half the fun in that is going to be finding out if we were right or wrong in our guessing game!

My main focus right now is finishing off my '55 Braves Spic and Span die cuts. Only 5 more to go! Mile High had a lot with the entire set in 2009, but 2 grand + buyers premium is too much for me to be able to shell out in one fell swoop.

I'm also looking to finish off a '58 Braves Topps set. My last card is an Aaron Yellow name.

I've recently started picking up t205s as well. Concentrating on raw commons in generally poor to good condition. I really like the look of that set and the beat up nature of the low grade cards makes them really look vintage!(that's how I rationalize being able to afford only low quality cards)

Yep... I'm still holding out for Dan Quisenberry to get in and make me rich!
