Also Paul,

Have you considered GU helmets of young's? Or any BYU gear? I'm not sure I've come across any of his byu gear.

What is your email address?

Gingi79,

there are still Steeler items that get me excited to get them. Even, say,first or second year defensive players due to their potential.
And i still love discovering an item that would go great in my collection that I hadnt thought of. Even when that day comes when I tire of it, I dont see me selling any. Maybe some of the pricier ones. One or two I may literally take to my grave. Ha.

Too much is when you win a HOF quarterback's jersey. Upon delivery, you open the box, peak in without unfolding it or removing it from the plastic bag, and then tossing the whole box into a corner. Where it sits for a few weeks so far. Definitely.

I agree with this sentiment (and I got the jest at yourself). When you get an item and it becomes just another for the collection, you're done.

If the anticipation of getting your 15th style for the same guy in the mail still makes you giddy, keep looking for #16

I am actively looking for any Steve Young game worn items. I would love to find a USFL gamer plus a Tampa. Bay gamer. Grey Flannel had a Young USFL uniform a couple years ago which I did not bid on and regret not doing so. I have been told by Tampa Bay collectors that Young game worn TB items have never surfaced although I am sure a lucky collector has one. The only Young TB item I have ever seen was a locker room nameplate. I have never seen a Young BYU shirt.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really appreciate it.

Next I will post the Ricky Watters collection which is 12 or 13 gamers.

Always buying 49er game worn items!

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.

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?

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?

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!
