PLAYERS I COLLECT
I'm an accumulator of many players. Not a priority - set building always comes first. These are just the vintage-card-era guys. The UV page has players from more recent years. I collect all cards of:
A. Lew Brockett, my third cousin, thrice removed. Early 20th century player for New York.
B. Bart, Bob, Mule and Tex Shirley, and ANY other Shirley men of ANY sport. Al, Steve and Tommy were UV-era players.
C. Any players of any sport with the last names POE or FITZGERALD, my grandparents' names.
D. Everyone with 500+ home runs in their career: Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Jimmie Foxx, Reggie Jackson, Harmon Killebrew, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Mathews, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Eddie Murray, Mel Ott, Frank Robinson, Babe Ruth, Mike Schmidt, Ted Williams.
E. Everyone with 50 home runs in a season: George Foster, Hank Greenberg, Ralph Kiner, Roger Maris, Johnny Mize, Hack Wilson.
F. Everyone with 4 home runs in a game: Joe Adcock, Rocky Colavito, Ed Delahanty, Lou Gehrig, Gil Hodges, Chuck Klein, Bobby Lowe, Pat Seerey.
G. These three clubs, in any other league - like Josh Gibson, Katsuya Nomura, Sadaharu Oh…
H. Sam "the Jet" Jethroe, the first Boston Brave of color, and the 1950 NL ROY.
I. Players born in, or from around, where I have lived.
Other than baseball cards, I collect quite a few non-sport cards, British coins and stamps, United States cents, Fantastic Four comics and some other junk. Got any you wanna trade? Got anything you're looking for?
