Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Annika Sorenstam come to mind for golf. Serena for tennis. There are sooooo many I’d have to sort through for baseball. I think of pitchers separately and want fielders to be great in the field and at the plate.

If I include Olympic athletes, whew… Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, Usian Bolt. Katie Ledecky is still going strong.

Muhammed Ali. Some truly had major international impact (pardon the impact pun for a boxer)

I could think on this for days, weeks.

Part of that is what I consider for “greatness.” And now I wonder how much I look at “greatness” when I’m thinking about my PC. As I get more nostalgic in my collecting greatness is much more of a factor…but I wasn’t consciously doing that. Now I realize it IS a factor

And guess what? January 2022 is when Fanatics bought out Topps. And there you have it. Fanatics is ALL about profits

It looks to me like they decided to add LOTS of variations within sets rather than have as many sets. Which makes sense for profits because they can just change add frame colors rather than print whole new cards. BUT I liked the different sets! That might mean I focus more of my collection on pre-2023 sets!

Same. I did NOT like Brady when he was playing but you have to acknowledge what he accomplished. When he went to Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl, that cemented it for me.

I think I agree. I can’t think of better players

I look forward to when I finally get the PSA ones that were sent in mid-February. That will tell me a lot about the ones I think might have some value. The ones I sent today are just for looks lol

MattyO is a great guy. I think I remember you especially like him because of his work with the autism community. Nice of him to hit that #300 for you when you were there!!
