Re: Who Collects teams only, or random players?

I only collect Milwaukee Braves & Brewers game used equipment. My collection is based on the 1957 Braves and the 1982 Brewers team.

Re: Who Collects teams only, or random players?

I mainly collect Justin Morneau bats (my favorite current player). However, I also have a few Don Mattingly's (my favorite as a teenager), a Larry Bowa (my favorite as a child), a few Joe Mauer's (just because he's a Twin and he's Joe Mauer), and David Wright and Evan Longoria (because I met both and they both are super-nice people). However, all I collect are GU bats.

I collect recent Cardinals bats and other game used items, but would possibly venture out for a favorite player of another team.

Re: Who Collects teams only, or random players?

1990's to present Cincinnati Reds is my focus with a few Reds prospects mixed in there. Numerous times I have thought about diving into Hall of Fame players and bats, but for haven't taken the plunge and may not otherwise there may never be an end to my collection and spending.

My team is the Diamondbacks, and I've been collecting since they began play in '98. I collect everything DBacks, from Single-A prospects to retired vets like Matt Williams and Luis Gonzalez, to active players like Stephen Drew and Mark Reynolds. With some players (like Matty and Gonzo) I also collect their stuff from other teams...but in recent years I've gotten away from collecting other-team items from every DBacks player - it was getting ridiculous.

I will also follow the post-DBacks career of certain favorite players into retirement and coaching; for instance, I just obtained (via team auction) a red jersey worn by former Diamondback and current Charleston Riverdogs manager Greg Colbrunn during every Friday home game this past season.

The only Yankees item permitted in my collection is a jersey worn by a young Mike Morgan in 1982, 'cause MoMan is cool.

Re: Who Collects teams only, or random players?

As most of you know who frequent the GUU threads-i collect only 49ers GU. Mostly jerseys but have a few GU footballs, hats, gloves etc. I collect from 1981 to the present but my main focus is the 1994 SB team. My goal is to have a home and away shirt from every starter on that team. It has not been easy to do. I have at least one shirt from every starter except Dennis Brown, Derrick Deese, Lee Woodall, Marc Logan and one or two more.

I also collect certain players from 1981 to the present including Montana, Lott (who i am missing), Craig, Haley, Rathmann etc.

It has been a fun 16 years of collecting these shirts but i am always looking for more!

I always offer $$$$$ for any quality 49ers shirts especially shirts with team letters regardless of player. Please email if you have anything of interest.

thanks

Re: Who Collects teams only, or random players?

I collect Phillies only, mainly because I am an addict and need to control myself. Once I pick up a non Phillies bat, it's all over for me.
