What up.. I thought I'd start this thread after I saw a great deal on a Cecil Cooper bat a few weeks ago. I came on here and saw that someone was in the market for a C. Cooper bat, and I couldnt remember where I saw it to pass along the info.

My thought was that in a thread we could put up, our team, what we'll be looking for in 2008, and any other side collections, or themes. That way if anyone sees a good deal/interesting item, they'll know who to contact.. anyways here it goes....

- Recently, I've decided to go after a game used bat from every rookie of the year.

- About once a month I try to add an autographed baseball from a memeber of the 500hr club. After that is completed I'll move on to the 3000 hit club.

- In 2008 I'll be trying to add a Manny, Vladi, Big Papi, and Ryan Braun bat to my collection.

- GoTigers is no a Detroit Reference, I'm an Auburn fan.. when it comes to baseball, I gotta go with the Braves.

As always, I will be on the lookout for college and pro jerseys of Florida Gator athletes.

In baseball, those I don't already have include current player Mark Ellis, David Eckstein (too much $), and Ryan Shealy. Past players I would like to add to my collection are Scott Ruskin, Scott Lusader, Kevin Polcovich, Dave Eiland, and Marc Valdes. For a complete list of Gators in MLB, see my website.

In basketball, about the only ones I could afford would be Donnell Harvey, Matt Bonner, and Andrew DeClercq.

In football, the list is way too long to post here. Here are some obscure to mid-level players that would be in my price range: Willie Jackson, Fred Weary (DB, not the lineman), Chris Doering, Jesse Palmer, Doug Johnson, Errict Rhett, Terry Jackson, Erron Kinney, Danny Wuerffel, and Ellis Johnson. Again, for a complete list of Gators in the NFL, please see my website.

If you have any game used of any ex-Gator, please let me know!

Nice thread, I am really working on staying on one track. My spending days on autographs got a little out of control and I would like to stick to one area on the game used items. So for the most part I will collect any kind of Cincinnati Reds Game Used items, leaning more towards the common players.

Well since this is 2008 and all the reports are out I was thinking of a Steiroid theme.
Anyone have Game Used or Pre Game Used Steiroid needles from Clemens, Pettitte, Bonds,McGwire, Canseco, LoDuca & of course in Sheffileds case a pill since he doesn't take steroids since those only are injected into your butt. lol lol:D :D :D


But on a serious note I have for sale a Game Used Darryl Strawberry bat for sale. He was Rookie of the Year in 83.

Let me know. suave1477@yahoo.com

Collecting my favorite Cardinal players that are affordable, but still nice.

Mainly players not good enough for the HOF, but were good players anyways -IE: Brian Jordan, Ray Lankford, Terry Pendleton, Jack Clark and JD Drew.

I tryto stay strong on my main focus of Spurs and Mavs and a few other NBA favorites.

I feel I kind of am all over the map.

But then I get a good baseball bat, and I think how cool bats look

It is hard to stay focused

I focus on St Louis Cardinals items, mostly bats and jerseys. My current focus is players from the 80's (McGee, Coleman, etc.), but I'm happy to add items from current players. For example I would love to find a nice Ankiel bat from last year.

I focus on Cincinnati Reds game used stuff primarily.

I also look to add star bats whenever I get a chance to do so.

I am also always looking for game used gloves.


But my main goal for 2008 is to get a nice Jay Bruce game used item

- A single 1994 Mets road BP jersey
- A single 1983 Mets blue alternate game jersey (not a BP)

As always I am lookig for former NDSU greats including the AFL jersey Gatorcollector found for me this week of Flint Fleming. I also recently picked up these jerseys of rookie Giant CB Craig Dahl (practice jersey from London game) and Justin Frick who was cut by the Bears on the last day of the preseason.

sorry, kingjammy, I didnt intend for this to be an "items wanted" thread... as i said before, I ment it to be more of a "keep me in mind if you see...." thread.
I'd use the "Items Wanted" section if i was looking to buy a specific item for myself. But if I run across a great deal on Game Used Bash Brothers Elbow Pads, I'd like to know who to pass the info. to, or who collects Mark McGwire, Jose, or 1980's A's stuff.

I feel ya and agree 100% that a "what do you collect so I can pass on things I run across to you" thread is different than "specific items I want". I think your thread idea was great and MUCH appreciated. ;)

Whenever the disposable income allows, I plan on collecting a game used helmet from each MLB team. One day I'd like to build a wall display and position the helmets for each respective division as they change standings throughout the season.

Kind Regards,

Ron.
