Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

Sorry to hear about the poor health and debts. I hope things look up for you, Dave, and that you are well enough and financially able to go to Spring Training in Arizona.

Thanks, Frik.

The debts were a result of a major illness that began while I was at spring training in 2006. As of Jan. 1, I'll have my final two medical debts paid off. After that, what's left is two hobby-related debts. If I clear one and eliminate most of the other, I'm in the clear.

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

Accomplished not only my 2011 goal, by ultimate collecting goal. A game used Signed and inscribed Albert Pujols bat, with a signed letter from Albert, MLB authentication on the signature, and his personal hologram... Never thought I would be given the opportunity to own a bat with such rock solid authenticity.

That's awesome Tony! I felt the same way when I got my '09 Rollins WS jersey. Never thought I'd get the chance to own something like that either.

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

My goal for 2011 is simple, clean out all my older general memorabilia. I know it's worth a few bucks, but not a ton. I'd ideally like to put 1/2 of whatever I get towards to a nice 2008 World Series item or a Phillies helmet and the rest into the bank for my family.

We'll see, just aiming moderately for the future.

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

2010 was very good to me collecting-wise. I achieved all my goals and more - it was awesome to add significantly to my collection.

For 2011, I am looking to expand my Jeff Bagwell game-used cleat collection. Paying top dollar for game-used shoes.

The other thing is that I finally want to track down a Jeff Bagwell game-used fielder's glove. It may not happen, but one can always wish.

As far as the Bagwell cleats, I would love a pair or two from the mid to late 1990s. I am also after a pair of game-used batting gloves with the hard shell.

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

Slim down the collection and buy only a couple "big" items. My collecting didn't really have a direction this year and I hope to change that.

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

items that I would like to obtain:

1990 George Brett game used bat with typical characteristics
2009 Zack Greinke mlb authenticated GU Royals jersey
2009 Golden Tate home ND GU jersey
2007-2010 Randy Moss Patriots GU jersey
1990s Jerry Rice 49ers GU jersey with team letter
Chauncey Billups GU Pistons jersey with Mei Gray authentication

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

My 2011 goals will include the following:


1) Find Brooks Conrad's 2010 home jersey. He only wore 2. I have 1, still looking for the other.

2) Thin out my collection to include more Braves memorabilia. This is basically what I did in 2010, and I sold a majority of the non-Braves items, but there's still some stuff left that isn't worth much at all and doesn't involve the Braves one bit. I need to get rid of those.

3) Add atleast one piece to my collection that has some sort of historical significance to the team, player or MLB

Re: 2011 Game Used collecting goals

I may get some crap for this, but...

I'd like to snag six (6) game home runs during the 2011 MLB ballhawking season.
