? for type collectors

[ullmandds]

Since I started seriously collecting solely vintage in the early nineties...I have been a type collector. My initial goal was an ACC run of E, T cards...which eventually evolved into D,R,W and 19th c cards as well. From a basic run of e90-1-e107...you can evolve into collecting the diff backs of e92(nadja, dockman, crofts candy(diff colors) and cocoa, ...the diff color backs of e94/e98...the e97/e97 bw.

I have recently sold off some of my toughest backed t206's...thereby disrupting that aspect of my type collecting. Additionally at times it has been frustrating that some types(t214/t215 pirate(if u can find one)/e107) can cost in the thousands for common cards...and this has turned me off and away a bit from type collecting.

These days I'm going after a set or two...and have a few type related goals I'm still trying to complete...but some of these cards just never come up!!!!

I am strictly a HOF collector from 1887-1991. I do have some few exceptions such as a 63 Rose and a 58 Maris, Frank Thomas (1990 Frank Thomas), Ken Griffey Jr. For the years 1933-1988 I mostly collect HOF rookie cards, as long as they are actually rookie cards of rookie players, meaning they would have have had 1 1/2 seasons or less played before the card was released. Unless they got sent back to the minors for while right after their first partial season (Ex. Hank Greenberg, Carlton Fisk, Robin Yount) I also exclusively collect only within main sets of cards only (Ex. Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Donruss, Upperdeck, T205, T206 (soon), Allen & Ginter, Goodwin, Goudey etc...One day I will probably get into back collecting for T206 and T205 but I will not care about ink color or stats on back or lack thereof.

My goal is one of each ACC#'d card from 1900-1949, plus all back and other variations...as well as one each of all uncatalogued cards and their variations. Pretty easy task.....
