ya for me my main player is ortiz and I will never be able to collect all of his cards just way to many 1/1 My personal goal for his is I want 1 of every card numbered to 3 or higher. If I can get some 1/1 as well great but that is not the main focus. If I could get 1 of every 3 or higher card id be very happy. So far I have around 500 and I think he has like 5 or 6 k so still a while to go lol.

Since I collect Chipper Jones I know there is NO WAY I can ever collect every one of his cards, so I do not hunt down the 1/1s or printing plates. There are still many more that will be very difficult to come across, but this will at least make it a little easier. I currently have just over 8% of all his cards excluding 1/1s and plates. I've got a long way to go, but I'm not able to chase the cards as aggressively as I would like right now.

You can certainly have all the base cards of a player, all the cards of a player less 1/1s, etc...even so, what about unlicensed cards not listed in Beckett?

I have over 1100 different Fred McGriff cards, but there is no possible way I see myself "completing" a collection of McGriff.

Once I figured out that I wasn't going to be able to get every Greg Maddux card, I've been selective on the 1/1 and printing plates that I pick up, depending on the deal I can get on them. There are still plenty of others to go after.

I have all but one of Jeff DeWillis's cards, including one signed TTM.

I used to player collect only Cal Ripken so its impossible to get all his cards even with unlimited resources...... Since last year I expanded a little to some players in my org but its also impossible to have all their cards!!! Then I went after a 80, 90s player which is much more accesible but like someone said, you have to wait for people to actually sell their lower end stuff so i can get close to completing, its Andres Galarraga (dont ask me why I began collecting him cause im still not sure lol) but In a year Ive hauled 247 different cards out of like 2247 or so that are in the opg. Not sure if i will ever get close to that number but im willing to try!

I'd have to DISAGREE with this statement. IF you have unlimited resources, you could easily get ALL Cal's cards.

Youd have to have luck to see every card for sale on ebay or any other site, maybe some cards have never even been pulled out of packs or something or maybe they are pulled by a 10 year old who puts his recently pulled 1 of 1 card in his bicycle spokes. Its impossible to have each of over 12 rgousand cards or so of ripken!!

we are rarely able to add anything new to the venters collection, granted he doesn't have a lot of cards.

we are slowly but surely building up our Greg Maddux collection - no hope to even come close to owning them all in this lifetime though. sticking to nice and low numbered 90s cards of his though.

stats on venters:
Overall Collection (107/154 70% Complete)
base/parallels (83/83 100%)
1/1's (24/71 34%)
