Anyone NOT PC their favorite player?

YankeesKRD · 09-01-2013, 10:11 PM

I've been a huge Ripken fan since I was a little boy and PC'd his regular commons growing up, saving them from pack rips etc. But now that I'm older I don't PC any higher end cards. I tend to focus on other players. I think it could be because Cal's autos are so readily available online that the low amount of scarcity won't give me the satisfaction of holding on to them.

Just curious if anyone doesn't PC their favorite player. I'd like to know the reasons too!

Cheers.

David Wright is my favorite player. I have a good amount of cards of his, but he is more of a side PC for me.

MarshallCutler6 · 09-01-2013, 10:19 PM

Anthony rizzo is my current favorite player, and d lee is my all time favorite player, I have a handful of both of their stuff, but don't really PC them.

I PC Cano because he is my favorite player but I also PC Billy Butler. His stuff is relatively cheap and I think that he is an underrated player.

David Wright is my favorite player, but I focus my pc on Jake Hager!

Ian Desmond and Ryan Zimmerman are my favorite players, but I PC Derek Jeter Refractor PSA 10's... Great question thanks!

At the moment I've got two.

*Jorge Posada
He's got WAY too many cards. The fact that I'd have to compete with deep pocketed Yankees fans doesn't help either.

*Eric Jagielo
As of this moment he only has 1 card (which I've got) but again, I'm going to have to compete with deep pocketed Yankees fans (or just prospectors in general) when Draft and other products come out and my financial situation won't allow me to do so.

Just starting to collect Nathan eovaldi. He grew up with my brothers

bd3d86 · 09-01-2013, 10:39 PM

I PC the entire team, so I don't specifically PC Miguel Cabrera. I have some of his cards of course.

jubjub47 · 09-01-2013, 10:44 PM

Adrian Beltre is my favorite player, but don't pc him at all. I do have a RC auto of his though. Tony Gwynn is my pc.

sportzking · 09-01-2013, 11:00 PM

I used to PC Nolan Ryan. Back in the early 1990's it was very manageable to collect almost every card of a single player. Then the parallels and 1 of 1s came out, next thing I knew there were millions of Ryan's cards everywhere. Then later on Mr. Ryan decided to autograph every single card in every single set. That was the end of my Nolan Ryan collection.

No, I like roberto clemente, but my reason is that im simply not a player collector. Im more of a set collector

I'm a Cubs fan too. Which is reason I don't have a PC.

I did have some nice ARam stuff back when though.

89transam · 09-02-2013, 01:26 AM

I was always a ripken fan and I would love to pc him but theres so much stuff out there that my bank account and wife wouldn't agree with the cost.
so I stick with Phillies autos and Robert andino. andino is a cheap pc for me.

superjames27 · 09-02-2013, 02:52 AM

I really like matt kemp , Brandon Phillips,brett Jackson and eric thames but I pc none but I do but I do buy random cards I can find under 10$

danoclubs · 09-02-2013, 03:44 AM

I like Derek Jeter and Mo Rivera. But like somebody said, I don't have deep pockets to collect them all. Really, I don't want to either. I'm more of a set person honestly.

thebrett · 09-02-2013, 05:16 AM

Bo Jackson in a Royals uniform is and always has been my favorite player and Bryce Harper is my current favorite

I have some cards of each of them, but have not committed to a true PC of either due to cost

Cubs fan here too! If I were to say I focus on any one player, it would have to be Sandberg.

SethMurphy · 09-02-2013, 08:22 AM

I don't, can't keep up with the prices on guys like Jeter and Rivera

Craiggysanford · 09-02-2013, 08:51 AM

I'm a HUGE red sox fan and Pedroia is by far my favorite player. With that said..... I PC..... Cough.... Derek Jeter..... Cough. Just don't let anyone know. Lol. Are there support groups for this kind of situation?
