Re: display space?

I have pretty much free reign of where I want to put my stuff. Most of it is in the front "game room" as of now. Stuff that was gotten by me for my kids or that my kids got themselves is hanging up in their rooms.
Now that I have gotten my GF addicted to the game used memorabilia the biggest problem will be who gets center stage.
Right now she doesn't have nearly as much hockey stuff as I do baseball but the way she is going give her time she may catch up real soon.

Re: display space?

My dorm room is covered with it now. Just got accepted to Grad School, so next year should have an apartment all to myself. Time to build my first locker or two.

Your dorm room is plastered with it? What college do you go to? Where are you going to grad school? Congrats!

I would never be able to keep my g/u stuff (I don't have much) in my college apartment. It's all back home in the Seattle-area. The moths are the problem...they get under my screen during the late afternoon and their caterpillars are hell even for my non game-used stuff.

No s/o issues as I am not in a relationship and don't plan on moving in with anyone in the near future. Space is a problem though as I don't know where to keep some of the stuff. I just don't have much room in my bedroom at home in Seattle. I collect so much other stuff besides g/u that the place is overflowing.

Though it's not like I have much game-used stuff anyway. I just have a Bagwell g/u auto'd bat, a Hunter Pence g/u auto'd bat, a Jeff Bagwell g/u ball, Bagwell batting gloves, and a pair of late 1990s Bagwell cleats. I'm not really into commons either. And I'm not really one of those people who has to have a huge collection.

Some people just need to be surrounded by game-used stuff. I'm not one of those people. I have plenty of other things in my room back home that make me happy. Like autographed books from famous people I've met, a copy of a section in a small paper where I was featured, and some political stuff. Eventually, I would like to have some more g/u items, but I couldn't imagine it taking up more than one room.

Re: display space?

By the way, I have the entire 2000 ft2 basement.

Which is 400+ ft2 bigger than our entire house!
You...lucky...b@$tard...youwreckedmyday!

I go to Quincy University, a small D2 school in Illinois. Just here living out my dream of playing tennis in college. Going to Western Illinois University to get my Masters in Sport Management next year. It is not hard to cover the dorm room I am currently in, a couple of bats along with a jersey or two and there goes most of the space!

Re: display space?

AWA85, if you get a chance, go visit a bar called Instant Replay at 28th and Chestnut in Quincy. Ask for the owner, Jim. He's a great guy and a big Cardinals collector. I assume he has stuff displayed in the bar (I've never made it up there; it's a hike from where I live).

Re: display space?

Jeff, Instant is a famous bar around here but I think every bar within somewhat of walking distance of our small campus is famous. I will have to ask for him sometime!

Re: display space?

I do understand about keeping the wife happy as my wife is an interior decorator and she is very picky and normally doesn't like stuff like this but I let her do what she wants with most of the house with the exception of the walkout basement which is all mine. I actually thinks she likes most of my setup like in the bar and pool table area but I don't think she's too crazy about my office area. I haven't received my jersey display cases yet, so I just have them on hangers and she hates that they just hang on the wall that way. My only thing that I do think looks silly is the bat rack in my office. I sold quite a few of my bats a while back and it doesn't look right with just a few bats I'm fortunate enough to have about 2,400 sq ft to work with although I don't use near that much with my memorabilia. I have alot more I want to display but I don't want to over do it.
