How odd is your collection???

[sportzking]

My collection is all over the place. Recently I've been getting into female athletes and some non sport stuff.

I collect Christian players from the 4 major sports, but mostly form MLB.

and Chinese player cards

Chinese player cards.

I felt that collecting baseball cards of Chinese players would help me learn about and connect more with China, give my adopted son a built in connection to his birth county, a built in connection and activity with the Danielson family and a start to their very own baseball card collection!

awesome job, that is awesome that you want to show your son his heritage, and tie in the connection to baseball.

Do you collect other asian players? I think I have a few Phillies prospects that are asian. I would have to dig them out, but would be willing to trade you. They are on baseballs

If they were Chinese or specifically WBC China National team players, I would be interested, yes.

Taliasen, those are two VERY cool and VERY unique collections. I especially like the Christian athletes idea, very cool!

DO you have the guy that won the 2004 odor eaters tucson open? What was his name???

I Googled it and guess you're asking about Robert Smith. Don't have his autograph but have a couple autographs of the guy he defeated in that tournament,the great Walter Ray Williams Jr. One a Donruss Sports Legends certified auto and a signature on a Celebrity Golf Tour program.

I collect only Texas Longhorns in their college uniform. Kinda weird since I dont like to get UT alum in their pro uniforms.

Im the sameway with PennState. i really dont root for them after they move up. Larry Johnson? Dont even know where he plays. I am not as big into NFL as I am into college. I wish them well, and if they landed on the eagles, I would root for them.

In fact, Tony Hunt was on the preseason roster last year, and Jordan norwood is on the practice team this year. I may try and collect their autographs.

I just wanted to bump this one more time to see if there are anyone else that would like to add to this.

Its going to snow pretty bad around me tomorrow so guess I will be at home goofing around on here.

Till then.....

I got that picky with my DeSean Jackson collection that if the auto looks like he signed it with his eyes closed, I won't get it because of that. They are calling for 6-12 and maybe more here in PA with the storm, so I know the feeling.
