Do you guys have trouble making up your mind ...like me!!?
Here it goes...
growing up I was always interested in whats new in regards to baseball cards/football cards..etc..
My father bought packs/sets for me from birth, and that continued for awhile.
As I got older, I got more into the team/player buying (1990s 2000s patriots/bledsoe/then brady...thank God for brady) and slowly got into autograph items...jerseys, helmets, cards...etc.
Then...game used hit me like a freight train.. My first game used item, a pair of TY LAW game used cleats (still got em...nice pair) in which i waaaaay overpaid...hooked me like a largemouth bass...
from there, i got more Patriots game used gear...then it turned into higher-end game used bats... Cobb gamer, Hornsby Gamer..then world series hero(s) related gamer bats....jack Coombs gamer, Tommy Leach early gamers....
some newer bats for resale...bonds, mcgwire..pujols...
then 1975,1986,2004 red sox bats....etc..
then back to cards...1934 goudey, 1915 cracker jack...
Now i see myslef interested in the 1993 finest set!!!
Is it that I cant make up my mind? Is it the "cant be satisfied"?
PLEASE HELP! ahah

A Tommy Leach gamer? I think you have a wonderful problem Is there any way I could twist your arm to post a photo or two? Anyone who has read "The Glory of Their Times" has a soft spot for Tommy Leach, Hans Lobert, etc. Anyway, if you have the time, it would be awesome if you could drop a photo or two on the thread. It would make my day. Thanks again!

Re: Do you guys have trouble making up your mind ...like me!!?
Great book. I read the book after I got the bat, and realized i might have a prized possesion
Whats interetesting about the bat (sidewritten -- Tommy Leach ) its from a label period that very well possibly could have been used in the first world series (1903) as noted by MEARS. and as you may know, Leach got the first hit ever in the history of the World Series...
Makes it a very historic, appealing item.. I've gotten some nice offers from Pittsburgh natives, but unless they turn out VERY appealing, id like to wait to see if a photo of him at the 1903 series surfaces..

A Tommy Leach gamer? That's awesome! "The Glory of Their Times" is truly a classic and to have a piece from back then is amazing. Do you still own it?

If I may ask, how old are you? The reason I ask this is that it seems your tastes and interests are evolving as you get older and possibly have a bit more disposable income.
I started off the same as you just buying sets and then got into game used cards. Just recently have I started collecting game used bats, and now I'm focusing more on high end stuff.
