Introductions- What do we collect?

[trsent]

Let's see, what do I collect. Bad checks, bad debts, bad girlfriends and bad life decisions?

Oh wait, you folks don't care about that stuff.

After too many years in the sports industry, I stopped collecting, but when I started doing private and public autograph sessions with professionals, I did start collecting personalized autographed photos signed: "To Joel"

My favorite is by Pete Rose:




Pretty cool inscription. Here are photos of my office walls:

I collect autographs primarily on single baseballs. I also collect rookie cards and tobacco cards. Currently, I am trying to get all the St Louis players (AL & NL) from the T206 set with all the back variations too. The two rarer backs I have are Carolina Brights and Broad Leaf 350.

Well if you guys dont know by now ill tell you again lol lol, im a huge DARRYL STRAWBERRY collector, I have just about every baseball card ever produced for him, I have about 6 different jerseys ( not game used - these are to wear ) I have a couple of game used bats, I have a game used batting practice glove, about 6 autographed baseballs and a ton of autographed items. I have met him once before and again 2 days ago he was at a yankee autograph show in New Jersey. I am dying to get my hands on an authentic game used jersey ( from any team he played for ) / but I truly hope to BE ABLE TO GET MY HANDS ON A SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS GAME USED JERSEY OF DARRYL STRAWBERRY OR ONE TO WEAR - these are his most rarest jersey ever

I started in the 1970's collecting football cards and autographs. I like old Orioles items, Redskins and now, the Nationals stuff. In the 1990's I decided to collect Roberto Alomar items, game used and/or autographed. Thanks, Kevin
