I once read an article about collector Barry Halper that stated that he owned nearly every baseball card ever made up to a certain point. That may have been possible up to a certain point, but that possibility is long gone. The shear volume of sets produced in the 1990's and the introduction of autographed and game-used cards and the ensuing costs along with serial numbered cards into the hobby including 1/1's have made collecting every card ever made impossible.
Even though I've known this for many years, it didn't change my desire to collect every baseball card. However, we all know how our collecting habits can change over time. It's time for me to let go of some of the cards I've collected over the years that don't fit my collection and make room for what does fit my collection.
I like the thought of having a small representation of various sets though. I've started 9 card pages for various years and sets. Take a look. You'll notice that there aren't a lot of star cards, because they are typically with my player collections. I tried to look for rookie cards of semi stars, errors, and just photos that I liked.
Now that I've got sample pages for these sets, let me know if you need any cards from any of the following sets:
1981 Donruss
1982 Donruss
1983 Donruss
1984 Donruss
1985 Donruss
I've got about 350 cards from each of the sets above so send me a list of cards you need and I'll see what I can do and we can work out a trade.
