O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I used to collect 100% Hot Wheels......I stopped about 5 years back.....just kind of lost desire as I am only really interested in game used baseball stuff.

Did you keep any of them? If so, are they displayed anywhere or just in boxes? My kid has a bunch that he wants to display and I was looking for ideas on how to display them...

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

Islandstyle,

I grew up in Vero Beach and practically spent my childhood at Dodgertown. I will always cherish those memories and it broke my heart when the Dodgers left. I used to have about 20 years worth of Spring Training programs, not sure if I still do. I'll have to dig that stuff out. I think I posted in another thread once about how I saw Sid Fernandez pitch 2 no-hitters at Dodgertown as a Vero Beach Dodger. One of them would have been a perfect game, but he hit one batter. (If I remember correctly, that was a long time ago).

In addition to game used stuff, I also collect autographs of every Gator who has ever played in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. I'm down to one NBA (Clifford Lett, Bulls), two baseball (Ned Porter and Lefty Guise, both deceased), and less than 40 football (out of over 225).

I used to have a pair of shoe boxes full of girls phone numbers with some of their panties along with any other little souvenirs I could sneak away with.

Yes Kyle, the panties were un-washed to retain their original game used aroma ....

Before the wifey off'ed it, did you ever try to photo match any of that game used attire?

Of course I did this only when I was single!

I also kept a calendar with the names,dates and certain intricate details if you catch my drift. Needless to say this mini collection was all destroyed by a certain someone......

Too Much Information

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I have a fairly extensive Dave Matthews Band collection. I have been to over 50 DMB shows and have all original ticket stubs, some show setlists, drum stick, autographs, etc. I also connected with the band's former music video director last year and have some original artwork of his.

Game-used has more or less taken over the past year or more, but my DMB collection is 10 years in the making so it's quite nice as well.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I am a guitarist and I have a decent collection of effects pedals. Only have 2 guitars. But hey they do the job! I stoped buying stuff for my guitar once I got into the game used hobby .

I also collect NFL non-game used jerseys and helmets.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I used to collect vintage movie posters. Still have quite a few but would love to sell most of them and make more room for Yankees Game Used Stuff. Here are the few more popular ones I have framed.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I don't spend nearly as much time on these as I used to, but outside of the game used items, I collect TV show scripts, skateboard decks, signed contracts, Vero Beach Dodgertown items and Dodgers sleeve patches.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

Star Wars, video game systems Atari etc, full size arcade games/pinballs, autographs of famous folks outside of sports and graphs of friends/family at special events in my life. 35 family members went to Maui in 1999 and we had hats made. I got mine signed by everyone there. Ten years later 3 folks on the hat are no longer with us and it means more to me than any other signed item I own. Skateboard decks, vintage beer memorabilia, 45 records.....I think that about covers it........

Re: O/T What Else Does Everyone Collect?

I have spent the last 20 years in the concert touring industry. I have been able to amass quite a collection of concert memorabilia, picks, sticks, passes, posters, guitars etc. Not something I actively collect. The stuff just seems to pile up and it has sentimental value, so I hold onto it. My collecting passion is Yankee game used bats, but the other stuff is still very cool
