- Washington Capitals
- 1961 Topps Baseball. Dad found half the set at a Salvation Army when I was 9 (in the 60's), and now I have the complete set with variants and am replacing my poorer-quality cards.
- Cal Ripken Jr. Started back in '88.
- Mark McGwire. Yeah....I know. But I had over 400 different cards before his congressional testimony, so what the heck.
- Charlie Hough. I'm married to a Charlotte "Charly" Hough and was able to get the baseball player's autograph on a card for my wife, so I figured collect all his cards as well.
- Retired NHL Goalie Mike Smith and any athletes/other named Mike/Michael Smith. I'm a Mike Smith, so there.
- NHL Hall of Famer goalie Lorne "Gump" Worsley
- Army sponsored NASCAR and NHRA cards
