Re: Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

I have 14 game worn Ray Bourque and 8 Cam Neely game worn Boston Bruins jerseys and am always looking for more so I guess that's not quite enough just yet!

12 steve young gamers? Wow and awesome. You have def cornered the market and can name your own price. Back then I don't think they wore a new jersey every game. So how many do you think are out there?
It would be great to see a pic of all 12 together. I don't think im alone in saying that.

Now I've got Peytons Indy home and away and also Peytons Denver home and away jersey. Also his Indy GU helmet. I thought that was a bit much but apparently I'm not even close.

Guys, share some more stories in what isn't too much.
Thx

I would be more than willing to take any of your "extra" steeler game items off of you. Seem hard to find and I have gotten my hands on a few different items. Love this side of the hobby but there just isn't the availability I would like.

If you want to move any, please email me at jared_stupsky@yahoo.com

I try to limit my collection to what I have space to display. If that's not an issue for you, I think it would be great to have one away and one home jersey of my favorite football player from each team he played for (unless it's a place I'd want to forget - like Favre and the Jets). For Manning, that would mean four jerseys. Next up would be alternates. Less important to me.

For baseball, I would ideally have one home and away jersey for each style worn during a player's career - meaning if there were six different home and away styles over his career, I would try to get those 12 jerseys. I could go as far as trying to get a home and away for every year he played. Again, alternates are less important to me, and I feel they are a little gimmicky.

On top of all of this, the pinnacle would be to add playoff, all-star/pro-bowl, and milestone jerseys.

Re: Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

Esquire,
You're correct. Now I have four mannings and a helmet. Does Indy have a throwback or are they the throwback? Bruce Harper I think I have 4 or 5 but I do like him. That's why it was a lot of work to meet with him privately. Good guy. Not the attitude that u see in the press at all.

Jared,
You're right. Pitt is very hard to come by. So that tells me I do have too much. It's like baskets of laundry now. I've got a great idea for a display room. You know you have too much when you start turning down Pitt jerseys.

On the other hand I remember when a Brady fan posted something like 7 different Brady jerseys....from Michigan up to now with throwbacks. Although they weren't GU the display looked awesome. Almost something to strive for. But impossible for Pitt players.

Solar, it'd be great if you could post all 12 youngs together. Impressive.

Nnunnari, what's the working website for the gwynn collection?

My wife would say it is hoarding. I am a one. It may be an obsessive compulsive disease or a heavy addiction. But it is not an addiction like drugs,alcohol, or gambling but an addiction that might actually hold future investment potential.

Would you rather gamble $10,000 on sporting events or buy Steeler jerseys for $10,000? The natural "high" lasts much longer with the jersey over gambling action.

If you go broke buying jerseys and pants, at least you will have something to wear as a homeless person. Many people with the other addictions wander the streets without clothes.

So I say, go for it!

Nnunnari,

Very nice!!!

That is an incredible collection. Absolutely amazing!

Re: Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

I would probably draw the line at getting one jersey of each style for my favorite players. No duplicates. That's just me though.

Re: Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

For me it is like most people said, space and money. I know 1 person who has a lot of Brewers jerseys that are game used, but he doesn't even have room on any walls of his house to display them all, so they really hang in a closet like his regular work shirts would. Same thing for him with bats, they just are lined up against walls in some of his closets. He used to be a bat boy for a few years for the Brewers so thats how he collected a lot of it, but has since bought more of players who weren't around during his tenure.

Re: Let's have a discussion/opinions please...How much is too much?

Paul,

Impressive. Impressive in it's entire appearance. Looks like you wiin and game over. Ha.
So are there any left that you're looking for?
What about the orange Popsicle years with Tampa bay? I'm not sure I've seen any gamers with TB other than pics of him running for his life.

And i guess that answers the main question.
If I run across any you'll be first in my mind.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome collection just to see them grouped together.
