Just wondering if any of you collectors out there have ever collected a player just because the name sounds cool or has a unique name? Example, I collected a player by the name of Wonderful Monds just because his name was so unique. Interested in some opinions. Thanks.
I think I'm going to start collecting Xander Bogaerts. His name is cool.
i have a large Dick Pole. collection.
I like the NFL player Jerrel Jernigan!
I collect Mike Krukow for the nickname he earned while playing for the Cubs: "The Polish Prince". What is nice about this is his cards are so cheap! I always check for them when trading here.

I purchased a few of his Autos on EBAY really cheap...I think his name is cool as well...also like Jahvid Best and Joe McKnight as well.
is that the same Wonderful Terrific Monds that I have some minor league Braves cards of? I think I remember that name.

I was actually going through and scanning my 75' Mini set a day or two ago and saw that card. Gave me a chuckle...

Years ago I was the official scorekeeper for the ASA Supers World Series (slow-pitch softball). Wonderful Monds, after his baseball playing days, played for an A-level club sponsored by Mizuno.
Just a little useless information for you
