So why do you collect Juan Gonzalez?

I was browsing the older post and ran across this. Why I collect...

In 1991 I noticed that the industry was expanding with a whole lot of different brands, subsets, brands of brands, and etc. I figured then that collecting one player would be the way to go and cheaper. I liked the Astros and Rangers so I started my looking there. I wanted something unique about the player I was going to collect. I looked at all things...fanbased, attitudes, and all. Even checked their birthdates and ran across Juan's. I saw 10/16/69!!!! A few 10/20's but more of the latter. Even my wife thought that was neat that Juan had the same B-day as mine. 10/16/69!! So in 1991 the collecting started. Juan had it.....Power, Attitude, Fan/Kid friendly, and etc. I've enjoyed collecting him over years. AND never have regretted it. I still try to add more to this day, as most of the members of this site.
