Jeremy, I collect Robinson too... and talk about him with my students every year.<br /><br />Offy... you and I must be from the same era... b/c I had a strong appreciation for Evans myself.<br /><br />Charles... Billy Martin is a legend in the Bay Area too. One of these days, I'll pick up one of his autographs.<br /><br />Last but not least... 82Redbirds... one of the things at the top of my wantlist is an UDA autographed phot of Musial & Gwynn. Two of the greatest hitters of all time.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-3469691135450968382010-09-10T14:47:46.028-07:002010-09-10T14:47:46.028-07:00As a Mets fan and collector, there aren't too ...As a Mets fan and collector, there aren't too mant players who retired before I was born.

Billy Martin, because I'm a NY Yankees fan. I was featured on Seinfeld and The Bronx is Burning. He's also one of the only old time Yankees that I can actually afford some of his cards. Not the really old stuff, but later in his career. His early years would be great, but they get expensive.Charles @ Hoopographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470157373493317997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-26627968655291935502010-09-10T06:38:46.543-07:002010-09-10T06:38:46.543-07:00I don't collect anyone that played their entir...I don't collect anyone that played their entire career before I was born. In basketball, I've got a few assorted Bill Russell cards from modern sets, but none of his vintage cards. I collect Dwight Evans who started his career before I was born, but had his best years in the 80s which I watched a lot of as I first started getting into baseball.Offyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528345612847787915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-88467505954899470892010-09-10T02:46:06.414-07:002010-09-10T02:46:06.414-07:00I'm just starting collecting, but I have a pla...I'm just starting collecting, but I have a player in mind to collect down the line, he'll also spread 2 PC's for me.Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337009869872821759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-8785018273837754582010-09-10T02:40:08.465-07:002010-09-10T02:40:08.465-07:00I collect Bobby Thomson because he is a Giants leg...I collect Bobby Thomson because he is a Giants legend and it doesnt hurt that he was from Scotland.Tony Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708130795543892569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-9828239811415052832010-09-09T21:42:22.362-07:002010-09-09T21:42:22.362-07:00Any Brooklyn Dodger played before I was born and I...Any Brooklyn Dodger played before I was born and I collect them all.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-77337172673901813602010-09-09T21:04:45.247-07:002010-09-09T21:04:45.247-07:00I like Jackie Robinson the most as far as guys who...I like Jackie Robinson the most as far as guys who were retired before I was born.
