Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

No such thing as too much.
If you want to see a forum member's amazing Tony Gwynn collection (not mine) check out my website for pics.

I have 12 Steve Young game worn jerseys as well as 11 Ricky Watters gamers and I am always looking to add more!!! My internal conflict is based on how much to spend for additional shirts that pop up. At this point in time I cannot justify spending huge amounts to add additional Young or Watters gamers unless they are specific shirts I have been looking for. If I had endless funds though I would add almost any legit Young or Watters gamer that popped up for sale.

Always looking to purchase 49er gamers!!!

Holy Hannah! I need to see a pic with all 12 young jerseys shown at the same time. Who needs to watch the super bowl tomorrow? I could stare at that pic for 4 hours!

Any Amp Lee jerseys? Alan

Ken,
Ha. Very nice. And you're correct. One of a few i have my eye on. Tho I seem to be spending a lot lately.

I'll chime in because I have a player collection... No surprise, it's John Olerud.

I set out to collect 1 of every style jersey he wore on field with the Mets. That said, he wore 12 different style jerseys... and after a long journey, I have 11 of the 12. Do the Mets wear far too many jersey styles? Probably. Is this collection excessive? Probably.

...but it was fun to collect and at this point I think it's such a nice collection that I prefer not to do anything with it.

I did have doubles of 2 styles, and have since sold them... so I do have my limits :-)

My sense is one cannot have too much of one player or team that he/she is passionate about. I visit my memorabilia room at least once a day…enjoy the helmets and jerseys displayed…move some around pairing different gamers and then typically once a day look at various sites for new gamers. My dilemma is I'm running out of room. I started collecting ACC helmets…then SEC and now focused on NFL…too many teams, too many variations…my shelves runneth over so I've began reducing some of my less favorites…in the end to each his own and what his "bride" can support.

I have 14 game worn Ray Bourque and 8 Cam Neely game worn Boston Bruins jerseys and am always looking for more so I guess that's not quite enough just yet!

12 steve young gamers? Wow and awesome. You have def cornered the market and can name your own price. Back then I don't think they wore a new jersey every game. So how many do you think are out there?
It would be great to see a pic of all 12 together. I don't think im alone in saying that.

Now I've got Peytons Indy home and away and also Peytons Denver home and away jersey. Also his Indy GU helmet. I thought that was a bit much but apparently I'm not even close.

Guys, share some more stories in what isn't too much.
Thx

My wife would say it is hoarding. I am a one. It may be an obsessive compulsive disease or a heavy addiction. But it is not an addiction like drugs,alcohol, or gambling but an addiction that might actually hold future investment potential.

Would you rather gamble $10,000 on sporting events or buy Steeler jerseys for $10,000? The natural "high" lasts much longer with the jersey over gambling action.

If you go broke buying jerseys and pants, at least you will have something to wear as a homeless person. Many people with the other addictions wander the streets without clothes.

So I say, go for it!

Nnunnari,
Now that is about impressive of a collection as it can get. Rivaled by none.
Very nice!!!
