These days, I collect mostly favorite players from the local teams - Bruins, Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, however, I will go beyond New England for a players that I enjoy watching or root for.
I tend to focus on specific players or team sets now over trying to complete an entire set. I've even broken down my sets recently to start the purge. I enjoy base card collections over chase cards.
I also like to collect soccer, golf and sport illustrated magazines.
I prefer to trade than to buy on ebay. Please take a look at my entire collection if you do not see anything in my FS/T list that you like....almost everything is negotiable.
