Blog Bat Around - What I Collect/Want to Collect

I know, I know. I'm a little late to the Blog Bat Around party, but better late than never.

Night Owl inspired a What I Collect Blog Bat Around and I'm going to change it up a bit and include what I collect.

Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are currently in their 20th season, so they don't have the tenure of say the Reds or Yankees, but with the sheer volume of cards produced over the past 20 years and with the limited print run of certain cards, it's not likely that I will be able to ever collect every D-Backs card ever made.

I am trying to get all of the Diamondbacks cards from the Topps base and Update sets, but other than that I don't currently have my D-Backs cards sorted by sets, but it is something I'm toying with. Right now my D-Backs cards are sorted by player, which leads me to my next set of things that I collect.

Players

 For my Player Collections I'll break it into two sections; D-Backs and non D-Backs.

Diamondbacks - I collect cards of these players, but only in D-Backs uniforms.

Travis Lee


Luis Gonzalez


Randy Johnson


Brandon Webb

Justin Upton


Paul Goldschmidt


Non D-Backs

Dwight Gooden


Don Mattingly


Dale Murphy

Ken Griffey Jr.

Mike Piazza


Hank Aaron
Thurman Munson

 Sets (1981 Topps - current)

 I'm working on collecting the Topps base set and Traded/Updates sets from my birth year, 1981 on. So far I've only got twelve sets, so I've got some work to do.

    Your collecting is as deep as mine. More fun to trade with people who collect to much!

    I love the idea of a Topps Page-a-Year. I may steal that.

    That's a lot of bobbleheads! I think I can put together a PWE package of some of these. Message me if you're interested in a swap.

    That's a lot of collecting. Love the bat card projects and I'm assuming the 2011 ASG stitches is because the game was in Arizona. I didn't know you were putting together the 56 streak set. I bought a few of those at the card show bit have them earmarked for someone else. I will definitely keep my eyes out for more next time.
