Hi Matt,

My Big 30 set is a collection of 30 cards of my all time favorite players in all sports. I follow some pretty simple rules I only allow two cards max from any one set, the card has to be one of my favorites of that player (no fillers), I do allow changes in the cards if I find one I like more but once I hit 30 cards I must remove a card to add a new one. I currently only have 12 of the cards and have been adding 1-3 for the last couple years.

To me its a fun way to focus on my favorite players and try to get one special card of each.

Here is my current list -
1 Anson 1887 Any/Mayo
2 Kid Nichols/Ward 1888 Any/OJ
3 Cy Young 1911 T206
4 Christy Matthewson 1908 E102
5 Fred Clark 1910 Tip Top
6 Pie Traynor 1933 E120
7 Paul Waner 1923 Zeenut
8 Lloyd Waner 1933 George Miller
9 Ty Cobb (Blue) 1910-11 M116
10 Walter Johnson 1917 E135
11 Honus Wagner 1910 E92 (Dockman)
