Who has the best player collection?

Re: Who has the best player collection?

Just want to say how much I enjoy seeing other collections. Very cool to see what people are passionate about and the reasons for it. It also helps people connect to others when they run across something that fits another person's collection. I have acquired multiple Biggio, Bagwell, and most recently Hunter Pence items for my players collections.

Keep the photos coming!

Thanks,

My camera was stolen not too long ago, but I'll try and figure out a way to get some pics up.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

This is the only game used forum I know of so far (being relatively new) and seems to have a strong community of collectors here. I'm slowly making the switch from cards to memorabilia and in the card collecting community player PC's were huge. With that said I was wondering who has the best Player collection out there? I've seen some impressive items collected but like the challenge and focus of collecting one or two players.

Welcome to the forum.

I think each member has his own favorite player collection on GUU based on his own interest and his own style of collecting. Your key word was “best” and not largest.

For me I enjoy watching the growth of Bill’s collection (ironmanfan) and enjoy when he shares.

What is there to like?

• He collects a great player.
• He has numerous many unique items that are HOF worthy.
• He has a great display area inside his home.
• He has some interesting stories behind collection.
• He is an expert on the player he collects and is the go to guy for information regarding Cal Ripken.
• He is a family man and a proud father (I even enjoy his son’s saxophone updates)
• Even the player he collects knows him by name.

If I had to trade my own collection for another collection it would be Bill’s collection.

Above is a pic of my Justice jerseys. Not pictured is the 1996 World Series home jersey because I am paying that now.

My players aren't HOF but the collections would be hard to surpass when it comes to rarity:

Matt Diaz: 8 different jersey styles:
Rookie Gray and White Tampa Rays (Only ones he wore)
White, Gray, Red, Blue and ST Atlanta Braves
"Piraten" Pirates (One of a kind style)

Game used and photomatched MLB Hologram Fielding Glove
Game used Pink bat.

Sami Salo: 12 different jersey styles many of which are one of a kind:
Detroit Vipers White (Only one he ever wore)
Rookie Ottawa Senators Black
Alternate Red Senators
Navy and white original Orca
Blue and white new Orca
White Stick in Rink Vintage (One of two he wore, the other is in the HOF)
Blue Stick in Rink (Worn in his 500th game)
White Orca with "A" (First time he wore it with the Canucks)
Photomatched Team Finland Vancouver Olympics white
Manitoba Moose (His only Moose jersey, scored his only goals and points, AHL Debut)

Re: Who has the best player collection?

Most won't know who this player is, but it's Dave Moore, 13-year veteran with the Buccaneers and 2 years with the Bills.

Thanks for the very nice post about my collection (and son)....My collection has been a great source of joy & satisfaction for me over the years...

Just to deomonstrate what a good guy Cal Ripken is, when I turned 50 over the summer, this is what he sent me:



Thanks again

Bill,

that's a great baseball. i think its cool to know the person you collect especially in your case since Mr. Ripken is a true class act. I had to check to see how old Ripken was - 51.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

I collect Ed Hearn and he refers to me as the "Biggest collector of Ed Hearn Memoriabilia" whenever he introduces me to people. He has said on occasion that I have more of his stuff when he was playing then he currently owns. Though I tell him he has the quality stuff (ie a WS game bat, WS jersey, and a WS trophy and WS ring!)

Ed only played for 3 years in the Majors in only 62 games so I 've been very fortunate to have 9 game used bats, 1 game used jersey from 1986, 1 game issued 85 spring training jersey, 1 87 game issued spring training jersey, 1 game issued KC Royals jersey. Also his 2006 86 Met reunion oversized plaque which was on the field at Shea during the reunion game and the 86 replica jersey which was given to him as a souvenir. One of my favorite items though is a ball incribed "David, Now Ya even have one of my balls!".

Re: Who has the best player collection?

I collect game issued/ready Evan Longoria bats and have managed to get one from each year he has been a professional (2007-2011). Unfortunately I may have to sell some of these as I have been unemployed for a bit. Still trying to find a job! Regardless, here they are:
