Player Collector
Also known as: PC collector, Team collector
A player collector is a collector who dedicates their collection to acquiring cards of a single specific player — often a personal favorite or a player from their hometown team. Player collectors are often the most motivated buyers for rare cards of their target player and are known to pay premiums for 1/1s and rare parallels. Many player collectors maintain a checklist of every card ever produced of their player and work systematically to complete it. True player collector rainbows — every parallel of every card — represent some of the hobby's most dedicated pursuits.
