what makes you collect...

what makes you collect who you collect? im just curious why everyone likes certain players.

this year for example i decided to go with rookies with "cool" last names. cool meaning- different, badA$$ (jeremy TRUEBLOOD) or just plain hard to spell.

so i decided to go with two bucs Jeremy Trueblood, and Bruce Gradkowski.i started collecting gradkowski right before his autos went up i could have bought his topps chrome rookie for 10 shipped then it was up to 40 i think its lower now.

and then i pick joe klopfenstein a 2nd rounder by the rams. so what makes you all collect who you collect?

reggie brown- affordable eagles wr who i think will be a star (big eagles fan)

mark clayton- out of OU, one of the only players who i think could be big out of OU lately (big sooner fan)

i love to collect chad johnson, one reason is becaus i am a bengal fan, and i love how he always is talking, i think he is pretty funny. i also like to collect patches and they make some sick bengal patches. but thats my input

Just have been a life long steelers fan and ever since Andruw Jones came up and hit a couple HR's in the world series I have always liked him.

I collect my favorite players. I saw one of Maurice Jones-Drew's games earlier this year and started to think about collecting him. Luckily for me I started collecting when he started to do extremely well. I'm trying to start mini collections of a few other guys.

I think next year will be fun. If John Stocco enters the draft I'll collect him along with some other Wisconsin guys that enter the draft.

I think I'll buy a box next year and if I get a lot of one guy and he seems like a good person to collect I think I will. I'd like to start collecting a guy at the beginning of his career instead of when he has a ton of cards out and it's nearly impossible to collect a lot of their cards.

I collect Marvin Harrison and Joseph Addai becasue i am a HUGE colts fan.

I collect Owen Daniels because i have met him personally before and he has some potential

[labguy42]

i only collect jim thorpe, red grange and bronko nagurski cards. these players are the building blocks of football as we know it. i also don't think there cards will go down too much, by getting in trouble with the law, spitting on other players, or getting hurt.
there are many people who are collecting the hottest players out there and when those players cool off (ie. big ben and i am a steelers fan) people get mad and look at how much $ they lost.

I collect Ryan Moats because he was an absolute beast at Louisana Tech and you can get 3 color patches on ebay for $5
