Part of having a player collection, at least as far as I am concerned, is settling on your favorite card of that particular player. As I've mentioned before, I am a set collector first and a team collector second. But I have made out a list of a few players that I collect and posted them here . One thing I have not figured out, however, is what my favorite cards are of each of those players. I probably could come up with my favorites for two of the players pretty easily -- Ron Cey and Sandy Koufax. In fact, I'll decide it right now. The 1975 Topps Cey card is the first card of Cey's I ever saw, and since it was my first year of collecting, I'm pretty positive that's my favorite Cey card. My 1961 Topps card of Sandy Koufax is autographed by him, so I'm going to say that's my favorite Koufax card. My Clayton Kershaw cards are so new, I don't think I could pick out a favorite. But the real problem comes with my Hideo Nomo and Orel Hershiser ...
