I collect Craig Biggio, and one main reason I do is because he played for the Astros...If he got traded, I doubt I would be collecting him.
What about you?

If your favorite player on your favorite tem was traded, would you still collect him?

Same here with Mattingly just always liked the way he played the game..I still do collecting him and always would have,,Unless he went to Boston that is just a sin lol
Always collected Hanley Ramirez even after he was traded.
It won us a World Series

I collect Corey Patterson and he's been on many teams!
I don't have a current favorite baseball team...that would be the Brooklyn Dodgers, so there won't be a problem as far as that, but Tony Gonzalez was on my favorite football team and was traded.
I continue to collect him so I would say yes to your question.
Perhaps if Gonzalez was traded to a team I don't like I wouldn't collect the new cards, but I would look for his cards from the Chiefs.

Would I still collect Chipper?
Yep. I collect the player, not the team. Besides, the Braves aren't even even the local team for my area. I picked Chipper because I like the way he plays, so the uniform on his back doesn't matter much to me. Although it's not a situation that I will ever have to actually deal with because the Braves are going to keep him until he chooses to retire.

Matt Lindstrom is on his 4th team and I still collect him. Started out with the Mets, then went to the Marlins, Astros and now Rockies! But then again, I stopped collecting a TON of Tigers when they left Detroit (D.Young, Dean Palmer, Granderson, Gabe Kapler, Brad Ausmus, Brian Hunter, etc.) Great subject matter!
Still collect Frank Thomas cards once in a great while. Best regards, David
My problem was the opposite. I did not collect Paul O’neills stuff until he went to the Yankees. It was not until after I joined the Bench and wanted the Super Collector status that I hunted down his Reds stuff… and I am glad I did.
With Don Mattingly and Bernie Williams that was never a problem and so it seems true with Jeter. I still pick up Pettitte and Soriano cards but only in Yankees uniforms. Tino stuff in the middle of his career with the Yanks as well. Until I collect a player who I am fully involved in collecting that starts as a Yankee and then gets traded I will never know, time will tell. I just hope I never get involved with another player like the ones I already mentioned. There is not enough time and money to do so, lol!

I collect Pat Burrell cards with him in his Phillies uniform only.
I just collect my players in my team's uniform, so if Reyes or Wright got traded, there are still plenty of cards of both of them in Mets uniform that I don't have. I would concentrate on those.
If I pulled one of my players in a different uniform, I would still keep it, but I wouldn't actively pursue them if they were not in a Mets uniform.
Thanks.

I started my Mark Grace collection after he was traded to the D-Backs.

If Pujols signs with someone else, I will only collect him in a Cardinals uniform. Now with the "common and no-name players", I collect them in any uniform.

Only if Ibaenz was traded to the Yankees would I stop collecting him.
I have my player collections (Durham, Smith and Byrd), and for those I take them on any team. For the other Cubs I collect, I only want them if they're in a Cubs uniform.
All of my guys played for multiple teams save Bucky.
The players I collect, I Collect because of who they are, Makes no difference who they play for to me.
Most of the guys I collect bounced around a bit. I like baseball too much in general to bother much with team loyalty. I appreciate a sweet drag bunt single or double steal or home run no matter if it's the team I'm rooting for or the one playing against them. I may not understand why Dave Winfield felt the need to end his career with the Indians, after "coming home" to Minnesota, but I didn't stop following him or collecting his stuff.
Fortunately, Puckett only played for one team, so I don't have to make that type of decision. If he had played for multiple teams, I would have collected all teams, not just Twins stuff.
