Re: Who has the best player collection?

My players aren't HOF but the collections would be hard to surpass when it comes to rarity:

Matt Diaz: 8 different jersey styles:
Rookie Gray and White Tampa Rays (Only ones he wore)
White, Gray, Red, Blue and ST Atlanta Braves
"Piraten" Pirates (One of a kind style)

Game used and photomatched MLB Hologram Fielding Glove
Game used Pink bat.

Sami Salo: 12 different jersey styles many of which are one of a kind:
Detroit Vipers White (Only one he ever wore)
Rookie Ottawa Senators Black
Alternate Red Senators
Navy and white original Orca
Blue and white new Orca
White Stick in Rink Vintage (One of two he wore, the other is in the HOF)
Blue Stick in Rink (Worn in his 500th game)
White Orca with "A" (First time he wore it with the Canucks)
Photomatched Team Finland Vancouver Olympics white
Manitoba Moose (His only Moose jersey, scored his only goals and points, AHL Debut)

Re: Who has the best player collection?

This is the only game used forum I know of so far (being relatively new) and seems to have a strong community of collectors here. I'm slowly making the switch from cards to memorabilia and in the card collecting community player PC's were huge. With that said I was wondering who has the best Player collection out there? I've seen some impressive items collected but like the challenge and focus of collecting one or two players.

Welcome to the forum.

I think each member has his own favorite player collection on GUU based on his own interest and his own style of collecting. Your key word was “best” and not largest.

For me I enjoy watching the growth of Bill’s collection (ironmanfan) and enjoy when he shares.

What is there to like?

• He collects a great player.
• He has numerous many unique items that are HOF worthy.
• He has a great display area inside his home.
• He has some interesting stories behind collection.
• He is an expert on the player he collects and is the go to guy for information regarding Cal Ripken.
• He is a family man and a proud father (I even enjoy his son’s saxophone updates)
• Even the player he collects knows him by name.

If I had to trade my own collection for another collection it would be Bill’s collection.

My camera was stolen not too long ago, but I'll try and figure out a way to get some pics up.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

Just want to say how much I enjoy seeing other collections. Very cool to see what people are passionate about and the reasons for it. It also helps people connect to others when they run across something that fits another person's collection. I have acquired multiple Biggio, Bagwell, and most recently Hunter Pence items for my players collections.

Keep the photos coming!

Thanks,

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.

Re: Who has the best player collection?

Bobby's Manny Ramirez collection is insane.

Sweet bat collection. He has connections? Must be nice.
