This list is intended group by
Section 1) Left-Handed throwing quarterbacks in Professional Football of any type by professional debut year (* = fall training camp / regular season practice squad participation)

Thanks C2Cigars and theFalcon for much help on this list

Newest additions will be at end of the list, with a "New as of date" and moved into their preferred ordering after an appropriate amount of time.

Please help me compile a list of all of the cards with Hakeem Olajuwon in them that are not his card. TIA.

My favorite thing about Olajuwon cameo cards is that most of them are him playing defense/protecting the rim.

I am hunting copies that pass The Nose Test, showing 51% (or more) of the referee's face, using their nose as the measuring tool.

I am always looking for copies of these cards with a better percentage of the referee's face visible to "upgrade" my project. If you have a card on this list that is cut OC and passes The Nose Test, let's make a trade!

Autographs obtained through the mail or in person. Also the occasional purchase of a non-authenticated card if I trust it.

The list is sorted by the date when the autographed was received, starting with my first autograph obtained.

Each player's card is from 2018 or the next possible year, except that multi-player cards, game cards and a few other types are skipped over and used only absent other options. Minor league cards are used as a last resort. I own each card pictured. The highly uninteresting rules are in my profile page, linked above.

These are sets where I just need the one card to complete.

Rather than a collection of every card in a set, a type card collection is comprised of one example card from many sets. This WBB collection includes players and coaches from nearly 200 different sets, including not just basketball sets, but also multi-sport, non-sport, baseball, football, and softball.

Presented chronologically (but with the latest addition first), it provides insight into how card designs, teams, and players have changed over the years.

I'd be glad to trade for any card from any set that isn't already represented in my collection.

You know the T Shirts with names on the back of them well I collect Maple Leafs T shirts too.
Because they are T Shirts and not cards I put these cards in a list to track my collection.

I collect Maple Leafs jerseys as well as cards.

One of my dad’s friends works for the Clippers, so whenever he gives us tickets to games I bring some cards to try to get signed!

Every Atlanta/Milwaukee Braves team set I have completed. All base cards, no serial numbered or photo variations. I do like to count SP and Bowman prospects. With the late 80s Topps and OPC, I do not include the "now with Braves" cards.

Each player’s card is from 2017 or the next possible year, except that multi-player cards, game cards and a few other types are skipped over and used only absent other options. Minor league cards are used as a last resort. I own each card pictured. The highly uninteresting rules are in my profile page, linked above.

Here are the cards that are on my most want list!

As a collector of Phillies cards, I enjoy a collection starting with some 1950 Bowman to present day. I decided to go after all Topps cards during that time frame, as well as the Bowman cards up to 1955. This list is starting with the only one I'm missing from the 1960s that is keeping me from being complete from 1954 to present day and I'm adding to the list going from 1953 back. (And rather than clog up this list with complete runs - yes, I feel like I have one 1951 Topps, despite it being the lone Red Back and I want all 6 Phillies Blue Backs - I am not adding the 17 cards from 1949 Bowman and the two cards from 1948 Bowman. If I add the 1949 Bowman at some point, I'll probably add in the 1948 Bowman as well.)

This collection started out as checklist cards with Ted's name included. They didn't seem worth including in my main collection, but they were easy enough to acquire for the most part. I then expanded it to include cards that may include Ted or his car in the picture, but not clearly visible enough to pick out for sure.

All of baseball's heavy hitters and hurlers.
Accepting suggestions 240+ lbs. I will also accept your suggestion if they look more than that but aren't. Will also accept 236-239 lbs. (but that's not very common due to it being oddly specific.)
NEW FEATURE: I will now accept funny pictures you have for any of these big players! For example: https://www.bostonherald.com/wp-content/uploads/migration/2016/02/21/022116soxms10.jpg?w=535
Top ten heaviest players in the MLB listed below:

2. C.C. Sabathia (300 lbs.)
2. Jonathan Broxton (300 lbs.)
4. Jumbo Brown (295 lbs.)

Cards I am looking for to complete certain player collections, or portions of certain player collections. Trading is turned off but if you have any of these that you're willing to part with in a small PWE deal, please reach out and I'll see if I can find something on your wantlist.

While my entire wantlist is large (I haven't even tried cataloging my Reds collection yet), I find it easier to focus on taking these collections in chunks at a time. For example, it's much easier and practical for me to dedicate my search to four or five specific Shawn Green or Buster Posey cards rather than add the thousands of missing ones to my wantlist. If I find something outside of this list I'll still pick it up, but these are the ones I'd really like to grab.

Almost forgot to add my latest. In my never ending quest to get a card from every year possible, I bought a Sanella Margarine 1932 card of a Japanese baseball player. It's actually very beautiful.

7/10/23
I can hardly believe I just added a 1954 Topps Ernie Banks rookie card to my collection. The White Whale. (This is too cool for me to eliminate this entry to the description.)

And now you can read the old description of this list that's been here forever.

Here's a list of the cards that are out of the binders, in cases, and on display on a shelf in our office (I also have my four display cases of Last Topps Card of Hall of Famers, The Merkle's Boner Collection, the T207 Cubs Team Set (partial), and the First Black Player on Every Team -- I don't include those here.

This display used to be only Hall of Famers (and autographed 1970 Pete Rose) until sometime in 2016, when I opened it up to cards and players I just liked, and I expanded more fully into non-Topps. Now I label each card carefully, explaining why its on display and/or some history of the player. Making it more personal to me and finding players with interesting histories really made it fun for me. I love these cards. Hope you enjoy it.
