Will your collection ever be complete?

I don't believe the true collector ever stops. He may find his grail, etc., but there are other players/teams to collect.

While I may have reached a pinnacle in 2008, I do other things. No doubt it slows down, but sometimes that isn't a bad thing. Being more focussed helps the realization that kids have college someday, and that pesky thing called bills and everyday life, insurance...you know the drill.

Just about there...need a blue Penguins durene and maybe a couple more Pitt basketball jerseys, a 60s Steelers gamer, and a Pittsburgh Pipers warmup. Thought I might find the Pens jersey at www.gamewornauctions.net so I consigned one of my extra Steelers durenes with them in the hopes of funding, alas no durenes to be found!

Genius,
I have a Pipers warm up shirt available. Please contact me regarding it.

I really agree with skyking that you are never done collecting. Although I have a lot of the Bagwell items I want, I am always searching for something unique and different. That's why I keep checking eBay and auction sites, even though I am mostly happy with my collection. Whether it's a lineup card of a significant nature or an autographed card contract, I am always looking to add something new and different to my Bagwell collection.

I started collecting game used football jerseys about 5 months ago and now have 14 (with 2 more in the mail). It started off very innocently with a jersey that I bought of one of my buddies that played in the NFL and I was going to give it to him. I thought it was cool and found another jersey of another one of my buddies and decided to buy that one as well. I have now extended the collection beyond my friends jerseys and now I am hooked! I was going to stop buying jerseys for a while and then BAM, another jersey showed up on ebay of one I really wanted followed by one that I am currently bidding on. The jerseys that I collect don't show up very much so every jersey that I find that meets my criteria, somehow ends up in my collection.

That is why I ask the question...is collecting jerseys like an addiction? Will I ever have enough of these things? I am in the process of finishing the basement so I can display all of them...

I am just curious if this is what happens to everyone...you stick your toe in the water to check the temperature and then before you know it you are diving in?

P.S. I never did give the jersey to my friend...

Uh, oh. When you start remodeling the house you are in trouble! BTW, don't forget pics when u finish!
