Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?
Rob,
Do you have the Cole/Kling card yet? My father and I completed both the T201 and T205 sets several years ago. Cole/Kling was without a doubt the rarest card in the set. It often goes for 2-3 times what a common would sell for. Most who collect that set would agree, so I don't know why SCD and a few other publishers say Dougherty/Lord is.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?
I tried to collect gold coins at one point in my life.... I think I only managed to get 12-15 coins when I realized it was too expensive to collect heavily. They're locked up in my safe deposit box and I haven't seen them in a couple years. I just stick with baseball stuff now.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?
I have collected in the past video games, Star Wars figures, sports cards, autographs, along with other things. I also go to baseball games and get bobblehead, stadium replicas, figurines, or other promotions. I have been starting to cut back lately on buying stuff; although, that may change when I attend the Orioles Fanfest soon.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?
Chris, I do have the Cole/Kling card. You're right though, the Dougherty/Lord card was not hard to get. Believe it or not, the toughest card for me to finally get was the Lajoie/Falkenberg for some reason. Luckily, I'm just down to commons now as I have completed the HOF and alleged "tough" cards of the set.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?
Have alot in common with your taste of music. My brother is a HUGE Metallica collector. I have a little collection of coins with special interest in early gold. Have some action figues put away, Civil War items, Abe Lincoln items and some music memorabilia set aside as well. If it sparks some interest and I can appreciate the item and the history behind it I usually will try to add it to my collection. A little history leson for my kids when they get older.
