Through the Class of 2020, there have been 19 players that have been inducted under the primary position of Catcher

Cards of other players that have an Ohio State player in the shot (excluding cards of Buckeyes in their college uniform that have other Buckeyes also in the shot) Please hit me up with other examples, I'm counting on you guys to help me find these!

Two more. No one special coming next year. Can my display case last until 2022?

This is my favorite subset of cards. It's my collection of the last Topps card of every Hall of Fame player who has a regular Topps card. I couldn't afford all the rookie cards and if I got into other companies, it'd be too intimidating. But I love this collection all the same. With this method, there are admittedly a lot of players in unfamiliar jerseys, but the cards also have more complete career stats than rookie cards, which is more relevant to HOF status. They are in order of year of induction. Enjoy.

A list of players, as Detroit Tigers or Minor League Affiliates on card, where I have 100 or more different cards. Updated January 21, 2020. DEAN PALMER and ERIC MUNSON make the list.

All hilarious names of baseballers, hoopsters, footballer, etc. throughout history.

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.

This user list will be a guide for members to see what Panini sets need to be worked on.

The 1980s and early 1990s will always represent "my" era of hockey fandom and collecting. I still watch the games, of course, and collect cards of current players, but will never feel the same emotional attachment to today's stars as I do to the players I grew up watching in the 1980s. Since most of the autograph cards I collect feature players from that era anyway, I decided to challenge myself by trying to collect autographed cards from each of the top 100 scorers of the decade. Scoring totals here are based on the 11-year period from 1979-80 through 1989-90.

There have been at least 22 players from Sac State play in the NFL. Apparently only 8 have cards.
Ken O'Brien was a backup at CSUS for a year before transferring to UC Davis, where he had his success.

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

The last playing card ranked by high water percent mark. I left off anyone who is still ballot eligible like Larry Walker. Updated after Ted Simmons was elected by the Veterans Committee. I included if that player has been considered by an Era Committee, in 2020 the Early Baseball and Golden Days committees will meet.
Early Baseball (1871–1949)
Golden Days (1950–1969)
Modern Baseball (1970–1987)
Today's Game (1988 and later)
It's amazing how many guys didn't even make 5%.

Last card needed to complete a set

Baseball players who don't really look like baseball players, and seem like they should be playing Tuesday nights for their company or church.

Members I have met in-person. In 2018 I met four members. In 2019 I broke that record and meet five. My 2020 goal is to set a new record and meet six or more members.

Any members interested in meeting, send me a message. I frequent the following locales and routes/states between. I'm not adverse to driving extra miles out of the way.

Northern Virginia / Washington DC area
Upstate New York
Detroit area
planned roadtrip to Colorado

I've been working on Phillies team sets from Topps flagship/Update series' on and off since 2011. Of the 2000+ cards, the only 4 I'm missing are the 1952 high numbers.

Last addition: 963 Topps #553 Brock Davis / Jim Gosger / John Herrnstein / Willie Stargell

After the fire at Notre Dame it got me thinking of the "Famous Places" I have been. Of course my definition of "Famous" may differ from others. List will be added to as memory kicks in or cards found of other sites I have visited!

Oh what a night.

Well, Chuck sent me a 1950 Bowman, so the autographed 1970 Pete Rose has gone back to the binder. Welcome, Hank Edwards.

Anyway, 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 three display cases of Last Topps Card of Hall of Famers, The Merkle's Boner Collection, and the T207 Cubs Team Set (partial) -- I don't include those here.

This display used to be only Hall of Famers (and autographed 1970 Pete Rose) until some time 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.

Of the three "specials", Serial Numbered cards are my favorite, I am addicted to them, and I should hit 5000 in my collection during 2019.

Tracking the specials again. This list is for Autographs, traditionally the smallest of the three lists.

This list will be everything, not just what I mainly collect.

An alphabetical listing of autographed racing cards that I have acquired. Cards are listed alphabetically except for the newest signature; it is listed first. When I add a new signature, the former last card will be added to it's proper alphabetical spot

Within reason.

Cards in my collection that stand out as interesting, but aren't worth much.

Some of the players I’ve met through events, signings, or by chance. Some cool facts to be included!

I love squirrels. My favorite animal. Rare on cards, this is a look at my squirrel collection.

All goalies to appear in a game for the Thrashers/Jets franchise.

Error cards featuring the wrong player will be the most obvious, but I'm also looking in the background. Major releases only. Going to exclude team cards that feature the whole team e.g. 1979-80 Topps/OPC hockey team cards for example. I'll need help for the other sports.

Single cards needed to complete an insert set.

Players depicted in a uniform & hat for a team they used to play for and is different from the team name on the card. No airbrushed caps here.

Every goaltender to wear the Colorado Avalanche uniform. 2 goalies crossed over from Quebec.

Here is a listing of my Jason Pominville Auto/GU cards I own. If you have one that is not shown here and willing to let it go let me know.
