Well, a non-collector recently provided me input regarding my focus, which I plan to act upon. His comment was that he would like to have/see cards of the best players in baseball. By that he meant the top pitchers in wins and era, the top hitters and sluggers. |

I think I'm going to move towards the e93 set as I have most HOFers from the set with exception of the Cobb and Wagner - I know, big holes to fill. Hopefully I will be able to pick up a few at the Nationals. |

My prized collection lies within my HOF group. I'm trying to get the earliest possible card (and it must actually be a card) of each HOF. I've even recently added a Future HOF collection, too just for kicks and giggles, so I have like Clemens RC, Bonds RC, etc. |

I'm really focused on the Latin issued cards of Negro Leaguers, especially those without cards in American issued sets. It's fun, but it's probably more expensive than I can afford. There seems to be a lot of good guys who collect in this same niche, tho, and it's been fun corresponding with them. I don't have many friends, even hard core baseball fan friends, who get as excited about a Dick Seay or an Andy Cooper card as I do. In addition, I'm trying to collect as many professional players as possible from the 1949 season. This inlcudes players from the Puerto Rican league, the Cuban league, Japan, any minor league issue and any other country I can find--hopefully there's some Mexican and Venezuelan stuff, too. |

I've always focused on Ruth, Gehrig, & Cobb. However, I'm now working on the deadball era postcards. I just purchased a Tris Speaker Boston American Series Postcard to start that part of my collection. |

I set with the intent of trying to get one card of every major leaguer that appeared on a card from 1908-45. This seemed like a still feasible task 4 years. Now that t209 and t210s have skyrocketed in popularity, this has pretty much become an impossible task now. I need 48 cards just from the t210 series 8. When cards were selling for around $100 each, it seemed doable, but given current prices and my limited budget there is no way I have any hope of acquiring these cards. |

I'm focusing on any King Kelly tobacco issues I can afford. Recently, I just got sniped on eBay out of a graded SGC EX-MT N28. That hurt, but not as much because I already have that one. Still, it would have been nice as I could use the double for trade bait. |

My collecting focus is so off topic that the President of an auction house once said (respectfully) that he wouldn't auction my material, irrelevant to its value (I wasn't looking to consign or sell). |

In pre-war, my current focus is 33 Goudey Sports Kings in psa 8 or better, 34 Goudey, 34-6 Diamond Stars and 41 Play Ball. Currently I need two cards to complete the Sport Kings( upgrade the Holman in 7 and the Sarazen). With the 34 Goudey set need roughly 30 to complete in 8 or better, for the 41 Play Ball 10 cards including the DiMaggio and for the Diamond Stars have 90 of the 108 in psa 8. |
