Dream set?......

Maybe this is a dumb question, and I'm sure I'll get some stupid responses, but if you could create a DREAM checklist, who would be on it? I'm talking about players, celebrities, bands, musicians, etc. Almost like a Sports Kings set. Also, what year and design would you like your set to have. Also, what about dream autos, dual autos, memorabilia cards?

Mine would go something like (no order, just whatever popped into my head)........
1) Chipper Jones
2) Carl Crawford
3) Kanye West
4) The band Rise Against
5) Scott Kazmir
6) Hank Aaron
7) John Smoltz
8) Kevin Garnett
9) Warren Spahn
10) Bob Marley
11) Dwight Howard
12) Kevin Smith (now former UCF running back)
13) Lil Wayne (laugh all you want image)
14) the band Sublime
15) Jeff Conine (the player that got me to like baseball)
16) Michael Jordan
17) Dan Wheldon ( IRL racing champion)
18) Martin St. Louis
19) Eddie Mathews
20) Dale Murphy
21) Mike Alstott
22) Ronde Barber
23) Jackie Robinson
24) Jay Z
25) Kelly Slater
26) Damien Hobgood
27) CJ Hobgood
28) Jack Johnson
29) John Scheurholtz (spelling?)
30) Theo Epstein (hate his team, but anyone that young running that team is my idol)


I'm sure that list could keep growing but that's all I could come up with for now.

On to autos and such.....

dual autos of: CJ and Damien Hobgood ; Carl Crawford and Chipper Jones ; Kanye West and Jay Z ; Sublime lead singer and Bob Marley ; Jeff Conine and Chipper Jones (my favorites growing up) ; Ronde Barber and Alstott (Bucs fan favorites) ; Warren Spahn and Kazmir (lefties, young and old school) ; Michael Jordan and Kevin Garnett

And my favorite: Jackie Robinson and Carl Crawford

Memorabilia cards: Bob Marley "event" used ummm.... "wrap" image (and no, I am not a stoner!) ; Any of the surfers on my lists, contest used board shorts/surfboard ; Any of the musicians concert used guitar picks ; Scheurholtz or Epstein's event worn suit swatch or dial pad from their cell phones.

Like I said, I'm sure many of you will think this is stupid but I just think it's cool to try and think of who you would put in a set if given the chance.

    Why not a love triangle triple sig?
    Marilyn Monroe/JFK/Sam Giancana

    Goot- I'd take Tommy Curren or Laird Hamilton over Kelly Slater any day.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Very good.

    How 'bout Doc Holliday/Wyatt Earp? I bet Holliday's a tough sig to find.

    Well, I was 2 when the Marlins played their first season. They used to have spring training 20 minutes from my house where the Nationals now hold it so I grew up watching him and the Marlins and he was my first favorite player because he was the superstar of the "local" team. I met him numerous times when I was younger and have followed him ever since.
  • 1) Neal Peart (drummer from Rush) auto. (maybe a game used stick shaving or something)
    2) Carter Beauford (sp?) (drummer from the Dave Matthews band) auto and maybe the same game used stick idea.
    3) The ORIGINAL Metallica quad auto card (Lars, David, Kirk and Cliff)
    4) Etta James/Ella Fitzgerald dual auto
    5) Neil Armstrong card, auto I guess
    Now comes the sports stuff)
    6) Ted Williams GU anything and/or auto
    7) The entire 67 Sox signed team card
    8) Manny Ramirez/Big Papi sual jersey with dual auto
    9) Bobby Doerr/Johhny Pesky dual auto
    10) 1949 Red Sox Team sighed ball/card/bat or something

    That would be my top ten I guess.

    Cool thread.
