I collect Chicago Cubs and also enjoy putting together a couple baseball sets per year.  I also pick up the occasional hockey set when I can find a nice deal.

 I collect anything and everything sports (with the exception of wrestling, and I'm not even going to start on whether or not that is a sport).  As far as non-sports, I collect the non-child CCG's and TCG's, ie. Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars, Star Trek.

I forgot to mention the thing that got me back into collecting after a 20+ year hiatus.  I play a baseball game called Dynasty League Baseball.  It's a fantastic stat based baseball sim where each player card is the size of a standard baseball card.  The cards were designed that way for a couple reasons.  The first is because you can store them in baseball card boxes.  Second, if you put each player card in a penny sleeve you can then also put a baseball card for that player in the sleeve as well.  That way when you're playing the game you have a handy reference to see a photo of the player, look at his career stats, etc.

I collect SF/NY Giants baseball. Mainly Topps base cards. But I also collect the other brands if they are available. I have little interest in game used, autos and such. I have some but I do not go out of my way to get any.

Cards of individual players I collect are Mays, McCovey, Stargell, Clemente, Aaron, Jim Abbott and Matt Cain, my current favourite Giant. Again I do not focus on these but I will purchase when they are available.

I also build the Topps regular sets on the 1,s. I have 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011. I would like to try and build 1971 but it is a little pricey. As well as poor condition cards due to the black border. Even the poor condition cards can be pricey.

I also purchased some full sets in the late 80's into the 90's. Donruss, Score, Upper Deck. Not worth much today, but I liked the look of some of the cards. They were easy to get so I made some purchases. I even put the cards in pages and binders. The pages and binders are probably worth more than the cards.

Anyway, that's it. Thanks for reading.

 I collect all things baseball... Although I dont build sets. I cheat and just buy already built sets.. mainly from Ebay.

Boxing, Baseball, Basketball and Football.  Just recently started picking up some MMA.  But I doubt that will last
