I'm just curious, and I've got way too much time on my hands.

Used to collect Cal Ripken. Gave up after all of the variations and
Auto/ patch/ bat cards started. The Tek cards really were to much
for me. Since Y2K maybe 10 cards. I don't know what I'm going to
do with the collection, especially since graded cards rule.
Jose Canseco has always been my guy since I was a kid. I was just impressed by him on the field during his tenure with Oakland. I felt that after he went to the Rangers, he still put up good numbers but was plagued with injuries. But I have a ton of his cards throughout his whole career. Hundreds of doubles on many. I also collect sealed cello packs, racks packs, single packs with him showing on top. Things like that. But yeah, that's my dude.
Haven't been as active as I use to be when collecting but because I have a lot already and it's harder for me to find something that is currently on eBay that I don't have.
*I only collect cards from his playing days
@magicpapa and I are in the same boat. The boat is really full!
