Lee Maye cards. He was not only an MLB player for over a decade, he was also a great singer in some Los Angeles doo wop groups in the 50’s and early 60’s. He was involved with many iconic recordings including the original version of Louie Louie. If you have some time to spare, check him out on YouTube

As far as random sports people go, Travis Wilson. He is the closest New Zealand has had to a MLB player and I went to school with him.

I have 217 copies of 1982 Topps Joe Charboneau, and more on the way. I like that card.

Aside from oddball cards and IP memoribilia that I have, my collection of vintage Jerry Garcia ties is one that I cherish. Cheap to buy in thrift stores with a big demand online. I have well over 100 right now. Many more to go... ------------------------------- "Don't give up. Don't ever give up" - Jim Valvano

I love mascot cards. Love mascots in general. I think it goes back to when I was a kid and Toys R Us would have costumed characters in the store for kids to meet. When cleaning out some of my old childhood things I found a comic book signed by "Spidey".

One of my favorite autographed baseballs is actually an autograph from a mascot, well kind of a mascot. It's signed by Ted Giannoulas (the Famous Chicken).

Not sure if it counts as truly an "odd" collection, but I collect mascot cards, primarily focused on baseball minor league sets. That probably started when I found cards of the "Crazy Hot Dog Vendor" from the Reading Fightin' Phils.

I collect Scott Bankhead for no other reason than he acknowledged my existence while I heckled him during a Rangers-Mariners game.
I collect Doyle Alexander because my sister dated his son for a while when they were both in high school.
