My New Baseball Room

[slidekellyslide]

It's official....I have run out of room. I may have to move the book collection to another room. One thing is for certain: Moving to a smaller room is going to help me focus my collecting goals. Now I just have to figure out if I'm going to sell the stuff I've got packed away or just let it sit in the event I ever finish my basement.

Thanks for sharing Dan. It's a treat to finally get to see your collection in such great detail. I love the room and of course all your numerous treasures. Is there a place in the room to sit and take it all in? If not I recommend throwing in a couple old stadium seats.

I would love to get a couple of stadium seats and was actually thinking this may be my next big purchase....The bookshelves would definitely have to move to another room for that to happen.

Thanks Dan! Great room. I love the old balls in the box in particular. That is an area I am always looking to expand. We have some of the same boxes, but you have several I do not. If you want more space try reorganizing the room and clear out your non-favorites to make room for what you want. I love filling holes in my collection. Whenever I sell something, I go on the hunt for an upgrade.

Wow! Awesome room and collection. This might be a silly question, but do any of you guys keep track of your collection in a database or list form?

Mike, not all of the boxes have balls in them....I've been trying to fill the empty ones with what I find on ebay....lately a few dealers?/Collectors? have been putting some really obscure balls on. I've noticed in pictures of your room that you have some on your shelf, but I can't tell which ones they are. Also I noticed that my Western League ball box looks a lot like your Waner box, only mine doesn't have a ballplayer pictured on it.

Brett, I don't really keep a database, but I'm thinking I need to catalog all my stuff. The only thing I have really organized are my photos and scorecard/programs.
