Night Owl decided to host the next Blog Bat Around with the topic being "What Do You Collect?"
I think this is a great topic and I'm definitely looking forward to Night Owl's cumulative post where he culls together everyone's entries. I think it will make searching out potential trade partners much easier if nothing else!
Enough jibber jabber though, let's get to it. Here's what I collect (in order):
1. Baseball Card Sets
I have an extensive want list of sets that I am currently working on (found here). My goal for the current calendar year is to eliminate more sets on my want list than sets that I add onto the want list. As it stands currently, I'm sitting 3-1 in favor of sets completed versus sets added so that's good news!
2. Barry Larkin Cards
I am actively trying to collect as many different Barry Larkin cards as I can. I am also slowly writing a post about each and every different Larkin card in my collection (here's that series of posts).
3. LEGO
Yes, I include LEGO as something I collect. I have my own LEGO train table in my "man cave" which I love to fool around with when I have the chance. I also collect minifigures from the blind packs and older sets from my childhood (late 80s, early 90s stuff). You can find a lot of my LEGO content on my LEGO-centric blog. I'm also more than happy to trade baseball cards away in exchange for LEGO related goodies, it's something that I've done a few times already and hope to continue to do so as I aim to clear out more of my excess baseball card inventory!
4. Reds cards
I'm actually not a team collector much at all. In fact, I recently downsized my "random Reds" pile substantially, basically putting aside cards of certain players plus a large pile for my eventual Reds Frankenset that I hope to start someday. I have more or less completely stopped trading for assorted Reds cards, instead I much prefer to focus on collections #1, 2, and 3 from above.
Those are my main hobby collections, but I also collect cookbooks, woodworking tools (and books), and board/card games as well as video games (PS4 & Nintendo Switch currently). I'm always up for swaps that include things from those collections as well!

I really got into Legos the past two years (mainly Star Wars), but was forced to tone it down because I'm running out of space. It's a really cool hobby though.
