I have never been much of an individual player collector before, but the new super collector status has sparked my curiousity. Why Mike Piazza, well I am a NY Mets fan to begin with. I have been a fan of Mike Piazza since he came into the majors (even though he started on the Dodgers). I know, with over 8,600 cards out there it seems almost impossible and expensive.
