I collect several player, none of which I plan to sell. The top two being McGwire and Byrnesie. With those two players all I have to say is: from my cold dead hands!!
Same here. I will never part with any of it.
I actually prefer his gear from the a's as he was the reason they were my favorite team. Here is my mac gu stuff
Bats - top to bottom. (the 97 is currently in illinois waiting to get signed at a upcoming signing
1990/1996/1997/1998/2001
1995 cleats / inscribed 9/20/95. He hit career HR #272 in them
Circa 95' game worn sweat stained cap
Got them from a seller who said he got the hat along with a gu cleat that was inscribed 95'. Im assuming they came as a set
Re: What do you do if you collect a certain team or player?
Hey Commando..as to flipping the teams items ..YES.. I have also done this in order to obtain better items. I have even traded 2 items for one. Depending on what player and item it is. I did that with a Marcus Howard signed gamer and a Fred Gibson Gamer for a David Pollack Home gamer with a ton of use. One of my favorite pieces.
Re: What do you do if you collect a certain team or player?
I only collect Georgia Bulldog Game used items. I have found that the college game used stuff is so much harder to aquire than the Nfl and MLB...especially now with the AJ Green thing. Imagine that my collection may take a hit in the future but I have made some pretty good friend inside the UGA AThl. Dept. I say if you collect a player or team..go for it. I love seeing and hearing about so many of your collections. I wanted to collect Matthew Stafford Jersey and Helmet. Finally have the home and away gamers and just picked up one of his game helmets. I feel pretty lucky.
Re: What do you do if you collect a certain team or player?
Long time no see guys! Still collecting Bison graduates....Joe Mays Broncos/Eagles, Craig Dahl Giants/Rams, Lamar Gordon Rams/Eagles/Dolphins, Tyrone Braxton Broncos, Phil Hansen Bills, and Stacy Robinson Giants...too name a few.
Suave, a bit random...but have you been to Darryl's Sports Grille by any chance?
No unfortunately I havent. I been so tied up with work lately I havent had much time of anything. But I was actually planning on making a stop there possibly this weekend. A couple of members from here went there and said it was pretty cool.
The focus of my collection would be team based: Cincinnati Reds. But within that, I collect certain current/former Reds players, not all. Right now mainly:
Joey Votto
Brandon Phillips
Eric Davis
Travis Wood
Mike Leake
Jonny Gomes
Kevin Mitchell
Jeff Keppinger
Adam Rosales
75% of my collection/buying habits are Reds, 25% individual other players I like such as:
Josh Willingham - THE HAMMER
Jorge Cantu
Pedro Alvarez
Ryan Doumit
Chad Bradford
I have collected many different players and teams gear the last few years but I keep coming back to my favorite....Dustin Pedroia. Had to narrow it down to one guy for the simple fact there are too many cool items out there that I just can't say no to if I collect everybody!!!
I have tried to be a little into both. Have a few items from the Phillies and Yankees and also collect Mariano Rivera. Looking for Steve Tasker items (grew up in Buffalo and still a huge fan despite their current state), but haven't found much of anything and few things I have couldn't be confirmed as GU.
I collect Dolphins, Rams, some cardinals baseball, racing(nascar, irl, WoO, F1) if it was neat or cheap and anyone that went to Western Illinois University.
