Basketball The ODDEST player you've seen someone collect???

[multimediapitstop]

Either yourself or someone else, what is the oddest player you've seen someone ask for or collecting??

I use to collect George McCloud cards lol, barely anyone knows the guy but he had a few legend-like performances and was a deadly 3 point shooter. I don't collect him anymore but still have all the old cards.
I currently collect Yinka Dare cards, which would seem pretty odd to most people.
As far as other people, I seen someone on this board recently asking for Vin Baker cards, he was a very good player but I just find it abit odd. It's like someone collecting Derrick Coleman or Juwan Howard cards, not something you see every day. So what about you? What have you seen?

When I was younger I collected Alaa Abdelnaaby

for some reason he was my favorite Blazer....to this day I still have no idea why

 

[Hands]

lol I know people who still collect those players.

Isaiah Rider, Clarence Weatherspoon, Johnny Taylor and of course..
Shawn Bradley
That guy is starting to become a legend!

Manute Bol

Raises hand................when I first started collecting (ahem, many many years ago), I put my hands on every card I could of Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson. Baseball player, former pitcher for the Indians. Why?..........My first ever IP autograph
Also had a small but complete collection of a ball player named Chico Salmon (pronounced SaMone)

I think the oddest I've seen was I saw someone collecting george bush cards or cards and memorobilia just thought it was odd that someone would collect cards of a president since you normally see athletes.

lol, I just remember his cards being the odd ones out in my collection. And I had quite a few back then, I'd just look at them and be like eww, who would cherish these cards! Even his name was weird!

Manute Bol

I once pulled a dual auto of his with Rick Barry.... since its been traded... but thought it was EXTREMELY cool... not someone you always see....

My weird guy was Kerry Kittles.
