I started collecting back in 2001 because of Ichiro and trying to pull his rookie card from Topps. I pulled a lot of those rookie cards after opening boxes but soon pulled an Alex Rodriguez auto jersey card from one of the series 2 boxes and was hooked on the insert line. I did not realize that those kinds of cards were inserted in boxes back then. Now adays I collect Ichiro still having around 20 of his rookie cards and an ichiro limited rookie from Upper deck all being from boxes I busted nothing bought individually. I also collect Albert Pujols having around 13 of his rookie cards. <br />
<br />
Other things I collect would be anything high end like one of one auto or game used cards with about eight 1/1's right now with the gem being my 2003 Leaf certified cuts Greg Maddux 1/1 mirror black auto game used patch card I pulled out of a box from my local card shop. I also have a Phil Hughes white whale Triple Threads 2008 card. One of my more unique cards is a 2008 Upper Deck Premier Carlos Delgado bat barrel name plate card limited 1/5 and is my first bat barrel card pulled out of a box.<br />
