Bob Gibson Forum

I have a pretty expansive view on this and think you should collect whatever you think fits your collection.  Here are some cards from my Rennie Stennett PC:

I agree with BucCollector, and while I accept the rules governing if/when players should be linked to particular cards, I think it does a disservice to users who are primarily player collectors.

It would be terrific if TCDB could be relied upon for a list of cards that mention one's PC, and honestly I don't see a downside.  If I were a Bob Gibson collector, I'd at least want to know of the existence of a card on which Gibson is mentioned.  I could then choose to try to acquire it or not, depending on how I define my collection.  It's similar to the filter I apply to the multitude of colorful parallels/photo variations/printing plates/etc. (for which I grudgingly realize that owning them all is impossible).
