O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

[joelsabi]

I collect Jim Thome HR tickets. I have been collecting them for about 10 years. I have approximately 472 out of 541. The one that seem to be the hardest are the early road tix. Especially places like Minnesota,Texas,KC,Boston etc. Sometimes I go for months without finding any. Then, like this week I come across 5-6. I thought about giving up a few times. But then I have to remind myself that I have more than anyone else I know. Plus, I am closer to the end than I am to the beginning. I guess it's all about the thrill of the chase

HR ticket collecting is really tough. I have tried and failed. You have to be a expert research which I think you are unless you have been searching from the start of Thome career. I often wonder if someone can jump start a hr ticket bank and make money off of it. No one has tried so it takes patience to collect ticket.

Looks like you have the second largest single player collection I have ever seen next to this one guy who collects Ripken Consecutive tickets. Best of Luck.

Thanks. Yeah, it is a bit tiresome. I spend a few hours at a time on ebay searching through different ticket lots. Every now and again I catch a break. I have been real focused as I have had more time on my hands. Maybe it's a good thing. I wish I could find some folks on this forum that had some tix lying around. Especially , the ones from places like Boston,Texas,KC, and others. I know there out there. Thanks for the props.
