    '99 and '00 Upper Deck MVP gold script (#/100) football, baseball, and basketball - I know of 2 other people working on the football sets, but no one else who appears to be regularly collecting the other 2 sports.
    Jerry Porter #ed and/or autographed rookies - I know of 1 other person who appears to be doing this, but I'm a lot more anal about it.
    R423 (raw and graded, including strips) - I know of 1 other person doing this set graded, and he's far more complete than I.
    1968 Topps Venezuelan - maybe 3 or 4 other people are working on this.
    I could probably think up several more.

    << <i>............If anyone ever has the chance, check out the pictures on the backs of 1990 Upper Deck, there are really great shots back there.............. >>



    Very cool
  • Since Griffey Jr. was my favorite player as a kid, I'm trying to get as many of his cards as possible. I'm also building sets from the year that I was born, 1979.
  • Every 89 Fleer Bill Ripken version

    Every card with a cuss word or obscene gesture

    All the 2005 Bowman Draft Russ Martin patch cards and Printing plates I dont have.

  • My "main stream" collecting is 1927 Churchman Small - the catch is all in PSA 7 only

    My off the wall one is I'm trying to get every Oklahoma Sooner player's football card from every major card company 1975 and earlier.
    Currently Buying:
    2004 Tommie Harris SPX Printing Plate (White Whale will pay top $$$)
    1994 SP Football Die Cuts PSA 10s

    Not exactly on topic, but I too have a complete run of Topps sets from my birth year (1980) to 2004 (I haven't gotten around to 2005 and 2006 yet). Sometimes I wish I hadn't sold those 1976-79 sets a few years back to help pay off my student loan (the 1978 and 1979 sets were especially awesome condition wise).

    I don't think I have anything that no one else is working on.

    My main collection focus is on Ben Sheets. I have about 700 different right now.

    I also collect former LSU players in all sports. Autographs, cards, whatever. I've enjoyed that because you can get a lot of them out of packs, most autos are cheap, and there are a lot of players through all years.

    The only thing I do collect (albeit randomly) that others may not is old soccer cards.
    My LSU Autographs

    Only an idiot would have a message board signature.


  • << <i>Did not read the whole thread because I do not want to, but I want to collect the whole 1986-87 Kraft Drawings Hockey set it Gem Mint 10 condition, I am about 75% of the way through, and it is not solely PSA! That set is an underrated gem!!! >>

    Hardcore, I love that set! Very attractive. Got some scans to share?

    Hopefully i have some "Hollywood" Star cards that will grade 8's, 9's, and 10's. Most of them are early tobacco cards from the 20's and 30's. Started collecting those in the mid 70's. I probably have several thousand cards by now and will have to start cherry picking them in the future for grading. Some are virtually impossible to find on ebay. Few have been graded that i have as well. Some, none have been graded at all.
