I am 35 and have collected stuff since I was 9.
I bought my first game used bat at the Union Station clubhouse store back in the early 2000's.

Ill be 25 in July and i have been collecting Game used Stuff since i was 15. I can remember going to old cardinal stadium in Louisville to watch the Bats play i averaged a cracked bat a night. The collection grew tremendously Opening season i think i had an average of something like 2 and a half bats a game. The next season they hired me as a batboy and i stayed there for 2 years. Greatest 2 summers ever. I still collect and still have lots of contacts with the Bats.

I'm 54 and practically inactive at this point. Lots of reasons for that but I still look around. I started collecting bats in the early to mid 80s and dabbled at jerseys for awhile but mostly stuck to bats and Rochester Red Wings items.

My name is Paul Martin and i am 43 and have been collecting for 17 years. I had a fairly extensive 49ers collection but sold most of it about 12 years ago. Since then i have bought a few shirts here and there but nothing big until i had the chance to buy 4 home 49ers shirts from last season with the pink captains patch. Now i am back in and looking for the shirts i sold! i actually have been able to re-acquire one of my old shirts and was thrilled. I bought a Stubblefield game used in the 1993 NFC championship game from GF about 18 months ago and had owned that shirt way back in 1995!!!!

Always looking for any 49ers GU shirts!

I'm 56 and have been collecting for 19 years. Started with basketball and Hawaii players of all sports. I've since sold all of my baseball uniforms and now only collect football jerseys of ex-University of Hawaii players.

Yankwood....the Rochester Red Wings??

Did you see Eddie Murray play there when you were a young lad? Were you a fan in the early 70's?
