World Series Team Sets
I've recently added a few 2011 bats from the World Champion Cardinals and it got me thinking ... who do I include in the set?
Do those of you who collect team sets only collect those who played in the World Series/playoffs or anyone who spent time with the team in the year?
Looking forward to hearing some responses.

Re: World Series Team Sets
I just collected the starters from the 2002 Anaheim Angels World Series Championship team. My bats aren't all from the actual World Series year though. I have Scott Spiezio, Adam Kennedy, David Eckstein, Troy Glaus, Brad Fullmer, Garret Anderson, Darin Erstad, and Tim Salmon. I still need to get a Bengie Molina game-used bat though to complete the set.
The only one I know was used in the 2002 postseason is a game-used Darin Erstad World Series bat as shown below:

Re: World Series Team Sets
Not to change the subject but similarly to the baseball collectors, I am trying to complete the starting lineup for the 1994 SF 49ers. This includes offense, defense and special teams. This adds up to 25 players.
I have been actively trying to complete this collection for at least 5 years and at this point am only missing 3 players:
Lee Woodall
Derrick Deese
Dennis Brown
I am only considering gamers from the 1994 season to complete the collection. It has not been easy finding some of these shirts as the lineman and kickers were tough to find.
I am sure this is the case when attempting to put together a WS collection. I have seen some amazing collections on the GUU forum and wish my fellow collectors luck in completing their team sets!
Always buying 49ers gamers and paying a finders fee!

Re: World Series Team Sets
I collected a bat from all 21 position players on the 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series Team. When that was complete I started on the 4 starting pitchers and Bobby Jenks.
Still need Freddy Garcia and Jenks.
Will post some pictures later.

Re: World Series Team Sets
When I started doing team sets, I focused on position players with at least 100 ABs, starting pitchers and the closer. Once I had all those, I'd move on to grab any bat of any player who was with the team at any point during the season. So, kind of a two-step approach -- get the key guys, then expand. You'll go nuts trying to get everyone, so he helps to focus on key guys. 100 ABs is just a random number, but it does seem to be a good dividing line between key players and role players.

Re: World Series Team Sets
Everyone has some good points. I really like the 100 AB as a start.

Re: World Series Team Sets
For my 1990 Reds collection, I am working on position players only, and only those on the post season roster.

I collected every position player that was on the 2009 roster any time throughout the season. The majority of them are from 2009.
