Barry Larkin - 1781 different
Joey Votto jersey numbered cards - 283 
I enjoy the serial numbered & color parallels & refractors. Like them mainly becuase being serial numbered I feel they're limited & that I'm lucky enough to have 1 out of the 25, 50 or 99 that were made of that particular card.
PC=Giancarlo Stanton, Kemp, Longoria, Tulowitzki, Griffey Jr, Pujols, Jeter, Randy Johnson, Helton, Biggio, Bagwell, Chipper Jones, Votto..
I trade for similar cards.

What about team collectors!!!! I tried a couple of years ago to collect all the Phillies from flagship Topps and it was impossible...well not impossible but expensive esp with the yellow and green retail exclusives. Gave up 1/4 of the way through Series 2. Became no fun and cost more than I wanted to spend. I love them though and always like getting them when opening. Not a fan of refractors, though I really don't know why....LOL

I am not a big fan of the same card with different colors.I'm not a big fan of parallels in general. But I do like the parallels in '97 Bowman Chrome. In my opinion, there were just enough parallels (refractor, international, international refractor) without them being over done.
Collecting 2010 Bowman, 80s oddball rookies, and '89 Griffeys.
I like parallels to an extent. If the color matches with the team color I love them otherwise not so much. I will look for Red Sox reg. refractor, red, black, gold, and sometimes blue and green but I have no interest in the orange or purples.
In general I buy what looks good to me. I love simple designs like Stadium Club and not a fan of cards that look busy(some Finest designs) or boring(A & G) And I really only need/want 1 auto of a player but if I see one I like better than what I already have I'll add it. |
