With Quinn...it's best to be known as a "Fan" of his...player collecting would be out of the question for most people...his stuff will be so expensive and everyone will be collecting him!

Well that's a good point. But even if he goes under I'm still going to collect and be a fan of his. wink.gif

I have another question for anyone who think they know the answer to. What would I be classified as if I collect anything and everything that I can get that has that players picture on it? For example I'm collecting Brady Quinn, but I collect anything that Quinn is pictured on, like I kept my package from my pack of Press Pass I bought because Quinn is pictured on it.

I would still say player collector.

Although, there's an option for team fanatic - maybe player fanatic? tongue.gif

(Team fanatic is listed as: "keyword is “the team is all”; collects not only cards, but jerseys, mugs, pennants, clothes, gear, mini helmets, blankets, bed spreads, table cloths, etc.; goes all out for anything that is team-related")

I went with Team Fanatic not because I necessarily have a lot of Red Sox cards, but just items in general.

I'm a combination of Team Collector (my vote), Dabbler, and Prospector.

Team Collector--I collect any and all Yanks
Dabbler--If I see a GU or auto or a refractor that catches my eye on the bay, I'll go for it.
Prospector--I love collecting autos and refs of minor leaguers, in fact I just won a Brandon Wood auto.


Current project: Collecting cards from every Jets starter in this game: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxs...01101160nwe.htm

Currently collecting: Any and all Jets (all types of cards, too), Mark Sanchez, Yankees GU and autos, GU and autos from Syracuse University alumni in football and basketball.

"Player Super Collector"

I don't have exact figures available regarding overall %, but am pretty sure I meet the requirement. Check out my bucket, which has almost everything except base cards and high numbered parallels.

You know what...Warner was at the top of the league and in collectibility at one time. Unfortunately, it's all about what have you done for me lately. Still a great player who was an MVP...you can't take away his accomplishments that's for sure!

And his a good person to boot!

I'm really wanting to become a player super collector at one time with my Calico collection, but it'll be a while before I can do that. As for now, I'll just stick with Player Collector (Tyrone Calico) and Team Fanatic (Notre Dame Fighting Irish). I'll collect anything that has anything to do with the Fighting Irish.

Nice topic. I would say I am a dabbler, although I have player collections of Shawn Marion and Miguel Cabrera.
