Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I don't spend nearly as much time on these as I used to, but outside of the game used items, I collect TV show scripts, skateboard decks, signed contracts, Vero Beach Dodgertown items and Dodgers sleeve patches.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

I used to collect vintage movie posters. Still have quite a few but would love to sell most of them and make more room for Yankees Game Used Stuff. Here are the few more popular ones I have framed.

I am a guitarist and I have a decent collection of effects pedals. Only have 2 guitars. But hey they do the job! I stoped buying stuff for my guitar once I got into the game used hobby .

I also collect NFL non-game used jerseys and helmets.

I have a fairly extensive Dave Matthews Band collection. I have been to over 50 DMB shows and have all original ticket stubs, some show setlists, drum stick, autographs, etc. I also connected with the band's former music video director last year and have some original artwork of his.

Game-used has more or less taken over the past year or more, but my DMB collection is 10 years in the making so it's quite nice as well.

Things I used to collect....

I used to collect baseball cards, football cards, sports pennants, coca-cola bottles and memorabilia.

I used to collect beer tins and neon signs. Sports related beer cans.

Also team signed baseballs from various teams...
Autographs in general...
I used to collect Commemorative Snap-On Tools Tool Sets along with Snap-On Tools Calendars....

I still have a autographed pic of President Bill Clinton....

Most Unusual things I used to collect.....

I used to have a pair of shoe boxes full of girls phone numbers with some of their panties along with any other little souvenirs I could sneak away with.

Yes Kyle, the panties were un-washed to retain their original game used aroma ....

Of course I did this only when I was single!

I also kept a calendar with the names,dates and certain intricate details if you catch my drift. Needless to say this mini collection was all destroyed by a certain someone......

Currently I collect Devil Rays game used baseball bats, fielding gloves, hats, batting helmets, etc. I also collect Devil Rays team signed baseballs, signed 8 x 10 photos. Some pennants, and also glassware from their Inaugural Season.

I also have a fairly large collection of sports mags and now with some media guides (thanks to egameused).

I also collect Buccaneers Ticket Stubs (some Devil Rays and others too).

I collect SGA Bobble Heads and other odds and ends SGA's.....

I feel like I am forgetting something.....

Islandstyle,

I grew up in Vero Beach and practically spent my childhood at Dodgertown. I will always cherish those memories and it broke my heart when the Dodgers left. I used to have about 20 years worth of Spring Training programs, not sure if I still do. I'll have to dig that stuff out. I think I posted in another thread once about how I saw Sid Fernandez pitch 2 no-hitters at Dodgertown as a Vero Beach Dodger. One of them would have been a perfect game, but he hit one batter. (If I remember correctly, that was a long time ago).

In addition to game used stuff, I also collect autographs of every Gator who has ever played in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. I'm down to one NBA (Clifford Lett, Bulls), two baseball (Ned Porter and Lefty Guise, both deceased), and less than 40 football (out of over 225).

Did you keep any of them? If so, are they displayed anywhere or just in boxes? My kid has a bunch that he wants to display and I was looking for ideas on how to display them...

It must have been great to spend all that time at Dodgertown. I was there for one week and brought back a lifetime of memories. Shoot me an e-mail if you have a chance. I'd like to hear more about your experience and Dodgertown collection.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Ozric,

I still have them in their original boxes. But I did put some thought into how I would display them, as they are so detailed, and the paint jobs are as good as any new Porsche could have!

I would display them in an enclosed cabinet (something like a china cabinet, but maybe a bit smaller in width), with all of the little cars sitting on a mirrored glass shelf with a mirrored back (on the cabinet). That would show off the little gems from every angle. There is just something about the "mirrored" effect of a display....it's nice to look at. If desired, you could also add lights underneath each ledge to illuminate the cars on the shelf below it. They make real inexpensive little florescent "strip" fixtures that are only one inch deep (hense the name "little-inch" light fixtures) that are usually used under kitchen cabinets to place light on the countertops underneath.....those would work perfectly.

If you keep them in a cabinet, they will stay free of dust.....which would quickly detract from the shiney fine appearance of those little gems.

Hope that suggestion gets the wheels turning....

Regards,

Steve
