I’ve attempted to focus my sports card collection, from basically accumulating everything I could to focusing on a number of players, themes, and teams. Generally speaking, I really only actively seek out baseball, Portland Trail Blazers, Portland Thorns, and the stuff that fits the lists shown under other sports below. In the future I’ll add a more detailed list of cards I’m chasing for set builds, rainbows, and other PC needs.

I’ve tried not get too many golf/tennis/Olympic sports cards in recent years, but when I do I focus on female athletes, mostly basketball and soccer with the occasional figure skater or gymnast. I don’t collect motorsports unless something really catches my eye, and non-sports is limited to autographs of entertainers (mostly in the world of comedy) and the occasional Old Hollywood celeb.
