Player Collections:

These are players I’m currently collecting. Players I have autos of in italics, players I have relics of in bold, and players I have rookie cards or first Bowman cards of are underlined. If they’ve been listed here in the past, but aren’t listed here at present, there’s a reason for that, though I could start collecting them again in the future. I will probably never have want or have lists for these, beyond knowing who I’ve got autos and relics of, just kind of a “playing it by ear” thing.

Team Collections:

Brooklyn Dodgers: primarily focusing on ’47-’57, for starters. That should take me about 3 lifetimes. See my primary want list for more details, including my haves. I’m collecting the post-Brooklyn, playing era cards of most of the key Dodgers, as well.

My favorite players on the team are Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges and Jackie Robinson, but I’m also partial to Roy Campanella, Carl Erskine, Jim Gilliam, Spider Jorgensen, Clem Labine, Cookie Lavagetto, Don Newcombe, Johnny Podres, Pee Wee Reese, Pete Reiser, George Shuba and Duke Snider. Koufax and Drysdale don’t suck, either, but to me, they’re more L.A. guys.

New York Islanders: paused on this, but I’ll always take a Kyle Okposo card I don’t have.

Seattle Pilots: sorta paused on this, too, but most of my needs are still on my primary want list.

Non-Sports (New! But not really.):

Try me, especially on pre-1990 cardboard stock Topps/etc., as I’m starting to get into this bewildering world entirely too late.
