I know the feeling. While this player wasn't quite the same player I collect Gorman Thomas cards as he was one of my favorites growing up. I however only collect his cards in a Brewers uniform. I don't need to see him in an Indians or Mariners uniform. I always welcome more cards of him in a Brewers uniform though.
Conversely I collect Ben Oglivie and Cecil Cooper but I don't need any of their early years with the Red Sox or Tigers. I also collect them in Brewers uniforms.
I guess my homerism runs deep.
