User Lists

The autographed cards I have managed to obtain of my all-time favorite player. Finding these at a "reasonable" price can be challenging as Chris does not frequently appear in Panini's autograph offerings.

A list inspired by them other great lists like that autograph one by PapaG321 or the Bubble-heads by C2Cigars.

After all who don't like hugs? As a wise person once said, "When in doubt, hug it out." I think it might have been Socrates or maybe Albert Einstein or maybe Howie Mandel, anyways it don't matter in the end.

If you want to add a description just add it in your comment. One word descriptions only, thems the rules partners.

Cards showing people getting microphones shoved at them or sitting and having a presser.

I think it will be fun to see how many of them media outlets are still around.

What's not allowed are cards with people singing into microphones or giving some kind of performance. Once again, leave a comment or drop a PM if you find one that fits, alright thems the rules buckaroos!

What I'm trying to do is to create a list of cards where the Green Bay Packers--my favorite football team--are playing the Chicago Bears. Specifically, the player featured on the card needs to be a Packer and somewhere else in the card image at least one Bear needs to be present; the majority of the player doesn't need to be present, just as long as it is fairly clear that it is a Bears player. Also, I'll exclude parallels and other cards that recycle the same image in other sets such as Topps Chrome or all the Longevity variants.
Why am I doing this, you may ask? Well, when I was a kid, my brother--a Bears fan--and I would try to find these cards. Of course, we tried to see if the card displayed any bad looks on each other's teams (a sack, turnover, penalty, a good offensive play, etc.). I also did this with my friends who were Dolphins, Bills, Eagles, and Vikings fan respectively. I remember having a lot of fun doing this (not sure if it will be the same now, but we'll give it a go). Now, as I have been looking over my Packer binders, I've noticed more of these cards and wanted to list them. I've also noticed that a select amount of Packers' opponents are featured, so I want to see what opponents are featured the most on Packers cards. Eventually, I want to see if I can spot all of the teams on Packers cards, but I'll start here with their most famous opponent since I started this "list" when I was a very young collector.

I queried Louis Requena (1919-2013) under the editorial category at gettyimages.com and it returned 832 pictures! It's a beautiful collection. I'll bet a lot of his 8x10 prints were used for autographs at card shows.

He was NY-based and I'm sure he was on Topps' speed dial ... I posted a few of the cards he must have done, along with his pics that were near duplicates (link included).

I also think many cards were produced from his photo sessions, even if a similar card photo is NOT in Getty. I put in examples of my guesswork, too.

This list deals with some touchy subjects so be warned.

Football Sets that need 5 or less to finish

We've been given the green light to re-format the playing card decks (at least the ones permissable here) with ♣, ♦, ♥, & ♠ in the card numbers. I am willing to do the editing (including the re-ordering to get them in ♣/♦/♥/♠ order, running A-K). Please leave a link to the set (or a link to a card in the set) in the comments, and I will add it. When I have completed it, I will remove the item from this user list and add it to this user list. I am going to leave the Renegades listing in case I ever get the list down to zero sets (like that will happen).

My ten most wanted cards... and maybe a few additional

This is my first attempt at a list. I wanted to come up with one that was quirky and challenging to create. I got the idea by watching the 1965 YouTube video of the Reds' Jim Maloney no-hitting the Cubs. Pete Rose batted with a soft cap which had some kind of padded liner on the inside of it (the outline through the cap was quite visible).

As background, by the late 50s the NL and AL said all players must wear batting helmets, but the rule was not enforced. At the Dec. 1970 winter meetings, the major leagues mandated the helmet rule for all players who signed up after that point and "grandfathered" players who signed before that.

Feel free to suggest additional players, but please include a source for them. Thanks.

In my Completed Sets chart, I only count pack-based sets, or factory sets over 100 cards. I don't count small issues, like promos, oddballs, regionals, etc. I recently documented my completed inserts and parallels, now I will document the Oddballs, Promos, etc. I don't know exactly how many I've completed so I will learn as I finish the chart...

I keep very detailed records of my collection. I wish I had begun sooner, when I started in 1998, I had already been collecting for a decade, and the listing has evolved over time. I am still refining it, in fact. It's a combination of two things- my OCD, and a desire to know what I had in my collection. As I was approaching my 30,000th different NBA basketball card, I decided to take note of which card was #30,000. Three months later, I hit 34,000 and have been writing down the Thousand Cards ever since. When I finally documented my NASCAR cards, finishing in 2007, and my non-sports and other sports cards, in 2010, I documented each thousand card then, too. It's pointless trivia, and only matters to me, but I felt like sharing it anyway.

These are the cards that I'd like to get to help me complete some sets

In celebration of 69 years of Topps Baseball

Players that appeared on a regular 60's & 70's Topps card, but never played for that team. (Rookie and Traded cards excluded)

These are sets in which I am missing 5 cards or less to complete.

I'm a base card guy. Always have been, always will be. But I will collect literally anything. Inserts have been a staple in the hobby for many years but I've never figured out how many I have completed over the years...until now.

WARNING: THE LIST CONTAINS FULL FRONTAL NUDITY so if you have your filter set to show mature, it will...

Located inside Citi Field

I do not collect errors and variations, of the same player. I just want to have one card of each player. If possible, I like to have the COR version of a player's card rather than a ERR version of that player's card. The priority of trading for these is secondary behind the Star Player Binder and pretty high especially if I can complete the team set.

Just as a means of showing which sets have been fully re-formatted in the approved manner - now sorted in chronological order (then alphabetical - all genres are mixed in). If you know of any sets that need this formatting, please go to this user list and leave a link to the set(s) in the comment section. I will add them to the list and fix it soon. Thank you.

I'm a set builder, I always have been, and always will be. I completed my first set in 1990 and as of this writing, April 2nd, 2013, I've completed 116 sets. My criteria for inclusion on this list: Pack based release, even if I bought a factory set, qualifies. Factory set only issues qualify at 100 or more cards. Team sets, inserts, promos, do not.
Since I am OCD, I also have kept track of when I completed many of the sets. If I know the exact date, I will include it in the caption. I also had the idea, circa 2004, to record the last card I needed to complete the set, if I wrote it down, that is the card I will use for this album.

Just some of the M's cards that I want.

Cards that show the same exact photo but the player is depicted in different uniforms.

All sports welcome.

Pretty self explanitory

Same photos used across the years and brands.
Does not include same photos used by the same company in the same year.
I used "blanks" to keep sets of same photos together on the same page; for ease of viewing.

Mark McGwire was the first player I ever saw play baseball (on TV), he was the first player I ever saw hit a HR live (at Busch). I know that there are over 8700 cards out there, but I am patient.

Cards where I'm like...

All of Matt Carpenter's Topps flagship SPs/variations from 2014-2019. If you have any that I don't, please comment below!

Since 1959, Topps has selected players for their annual All-Star Rookie Team. It usually consists of C, 1B , 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OF, LHP, RHP. In 2010 they added a RP, and in 2018 they added a DH. Topps would than put the trophy symbol on that players card the following year. (ex- the 1959 players had it on their 1960 card). In 1974 and again in 1979 thru 1986, All-Star Rookies were selected, but the trophy cup was left off. There were also other times the trophy was left off individuals cards, which will be noted in the comments.
This list will show the year by year rosters using the Topps flagship set. The comments will have players accomplishments, along with a listing of their other miscellaneous and variation cards with the trophy on it.
You can check out my Topps All Star Rookie Cups collection at my collection page. It also has my want list.
The comment section about the players is a work in progress.
Will update the list when new year comes out.

The last card needed to finish various sets/collections.

My two favorite collecting events:
1) when a collection/set gets down to "just one more card". It just makes me want that last card soooooo bad.
2) when a collection/set is completed

Cards that show players on teams you forgot or did not know they played for.

The Philadelphia Flyers set an NHL record in the 2018-19 season for most goalies played by a team in a single season at 8, here they are. Out of the 8 only 3 remain, Carter (Starter, Cahtah) Hart, Brian (Moose) Elliott and Alex Lyon.

Lyon currently plays for the AHL Phantoms and was called up for 3 games this season when Hart was out with an injury. He proved to be a valuable prospect for a future backup to Hart, starting 2 games and filling in for Elliott after he was pulled in the beginning of the 3rd period in a home loss to New Jersey. Out of his 2 starts, he stopped 36 out of 40 shots on goal during an all-around ugly 4-1 home loss to Montreal and stopped 28 out of 31 shots during a 6-3 home victory against Colorado. The game he filled in for Elliott in the third was another all-around ugly game when the Flyers were shutout by the Devils in a 5-0 home loss.
