Whoa, you weren't kidding! 17 jerseys?! Insane. Are you sure he isn't Milledge himself? lol!

Thanks tony, I'm always checking out your site. I did purchase a domain name a while back but have no idea where to get started, hopefully that will change soon.

To answer a question asked by the original poster, bats run the gammit from relatively inexpensive to insanely priced, as high as 10k for star vintage Players such as mante and mays. Modern plays can run from a hundred or less for lesser known players. To a few hundred for stars or even thousands for the top guys pujols, jeter etc....

Not bad. To think I spent hundreds on autographed cardboard (cards). . Perhaps I could pick up some from my favorite players. How much do you think a Griffey and Bagwell will run me?

Re: Who has the best player collection?

Bagwell's are rarer then one would think. I haven't seen a nice gamer in a long time. Griffey's aren't to bad, I would say 700-1200 for a solid one. I would look for one of his older seattle gamers with the signed letter from his old distributor. Some of those bats are incredible.

That is impressive. Not sure how many photomatched Manny Ramirez bats Bobby has. His collection comes to mind for quantity and quality for bats.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

I think I've seen your Giambis before in some contest. You're the one who has the entire outfit from one game, right? That inspired me to get one of my own. I just have to figure out how to display it now. Very, Very nice collection by the way!

I addressed this in another post as well, but that would be my Giambi mannequin.

The contest you referred to was on Sports Card Forum (SCF). I'm Xpress34 on there as well.

Welcome to the board!

I'm not sure how up to date this is, but I'm sure it has only become more impressive with age.

Okay, cool. I'll get it straight. There doesn't seem to be as many memorabilia collectors on that site vs. this one. Anyways thank, glad to be on board! I'm a football collector mainly but baseball was my first love. Still remember guys like Giambi. The newer guys not so much.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

so many impressive collections out there....I would be proud to own any of them....pujols,zimmerman,posada,cano,ramirez..just to many impressive collections out there to name them all...but I'd have to give my vote to Rich & his Austin Jackson collection!!

Re: Who has the best player collection?

There really is no wrong answer here but Dale did you forget about your pudge collection? Not fair

Re: Who has the best player collection?

5toolplayer has put together a very impressive Curtis Granderson collection in a short period of time -- and he picked the right year to do it!!

Re: Who has the best player collection?

I am starting a player collection of Von Miller. I was getting bored and frustrated with collecting so I stopped for awhile. I had put together a fairly good NFL collection but I realized that alot of today's great players were out of my price range and or impossible to find so my collection never would be truly complete and there are a ton of jerseys on the market of other great players so I felt like why should I buy something I can get anyday of the week? I was looking at JO's website oneday and saw they had posted Broncos jerseys from the first game of the year and I saw they had Von's and I thought to myself it would be cool to have the first jersey this guy ever wore in a game that counted so I picked it up. Now my goal is to add a white and blue jersey so I will have rookie jerseys in all three styles. The one I currently have is an orange alternate. I plan on adding a jersey from each year of his career and am hoping that JO stays involved with the Broncos so I don't have to fight it out on NFL Auctions for them. I am going to supplement this with autographed stuff (which surprisingly his autograph is very cheap) and hopefully a college jersey. I am very excited about this because he is a promising player and I will be able to have a complete collection.
