My Sunday Night

Tonight, in an act of sheer desperation, I rammed into two liches with The Goat Of Terror.

Amazingly, both The Goat Of Terror and I lived to tell the tale.

Player Collections: these are players I’m currently collecting. Players I have autos of in italics, players I have relics of in bold, and yes, getting relics and autos of the players I collect is a priority. 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.

Jim Thorpe (he did baseball, but he played a lot of other sports, too)

Not actively pursuing collecting these players, because I’d rather that people who were more serious about them get first crack, but I’m also not going to turn them down if they’re offered, and I’ll always hang onto their cards if I get them by happenstance:

Roberto Clemente
Ken Griffey, Jr.
Willie Mays

Team Collections:

Brooklyn Dodgers: all, but primarily focusing on ’47-’57, for starters. That should take me about 3 lifetimes. See my master want list for more details, including my haves (if I don’t have it, assume I want it). I’m collecting the post-Brooklyn 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: kinda takin’ a break on this, but I still like my Isles, and some of my former Isles. Kyle Okposo’s still my favorite player. Stickin’ with him even if he’s not with my team. Still like Matt Moulson and Frans Nielsen, too (as well as Matt Martin’s Leafs stuff, from when he was away for a bit), so I’ll take their stuff on their new teams, if you’ve got it.

Seattle Pilots: thinking about getting some more Pilots soon.

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.
