Re: Whos your favorite to collect and Why?
Dave Kingman. Growing up I had limited interest in sports until I was in high school and came home to the afternoon Cubs games on cable, and the long homeruns of their star, Dave Kong Kingman. My brother was a huge Tigers fan and we competed. I was taken with Dave's aggressiveness at the plate, the fear he struck in the opposition, and the mystery always surrounding him as he did not speak to press and was regarded as a private individual.
When he left the Cubs I followed him to the Mets and later the A's and Tropics after retirement. I finally met Dave in 92 while on a trip to Florida that spring. I had taken a huge amount of game used stuff down in the hopes of getting it signed. I not only did that - but went home with the ability to contact him when I want! Dave turned out to be a very nice individual, and 14 years later I still see him occasionally and communicate a few times thru the year. He has been kind to my wife and children, and I have collected him from oddball stuff to game used equipment. Anyone with items to want to sell, please contact me, and if you are buying I do have items I occasionally sell: skyking442@hotmail.com
I have also collected McGwire and Thome thru the years.
