Introductions- What do we collect?

[vintagesportscollector]

Hi all- With the new forum figured it would be a good time to introduce ourselves as there may be a bunch of new faces. The old GUF vintage forum was a small group, but it was good to get to know everyone.

My name is Joe Kirschner. I live in NJ. Been collecting for about 8 years and I collect everything vintage...I have a hard time saying NO. All sports but mostly baseball. My expertise is early 1900s uniforms but I have a wide array of equipment and memorabilia.

Greetings,

I collect Julius Erving memorabilia (photos, posters, signed items, etc.) Still haven't managed to acquire any game used Dr. J. "stuff", but with 2 healthy kidneys, it's just a matter of time before I strike a deal with someone

I collect Jerseys - but not really game worns because of two reasons 1) They generally don't fit me because I'm short and wide...lol and 2) they're too expensive. Maybe one day.

My name is Dan Bretta and I collect just about anything related to baseball pre-1970. I specialize in Nebraska Minor league items especially Lincoln Athletics and Lincoln Chiefs (Western and Three I League). I also like just about anything and everything as regards to vintage equipment. And I also collect baseball photos.

Some of my collection can be seen here:

My name is Brett Lowman and I collect vintage baseball bats/gloves plus old basketball stuff as well. I got into the hobby by way of my dad - he's been collecting bats and gloves since 1990 - guess it's an inherited trait. I'd like to be able to spend more money on collecting but I'm a teacher in grad school with a wife full-time in pharmacy school. I love going to flea markets, antique shows, etc. and seeing what I can scrounge up. Here is a picture of a part of my collection:

I have collected baseball books, fiction and non-fiction, since 1989.

I also collect some baseball cards. "baseballart" is a reference to some of my spouse's baseball paintings (Jennifer Ettinger, http://www.ettinger.ca) one of which is shown here

My name is Dennis or Den for short and I love Game Used bats. I started in 1980 and have gotten back into it after a short time off. My pride and joys are in Uncracked form with nice game use.........

3 Pudge Bats
Frank Thomas
Gary Sheffield
Jose Canseco
Albert Belle



Some of these bats were purchased from our very own Forum members, so if your looking for something, give our online buddies a try!

Also if anyone wouldnt mind adding my link to their website, I could do the same in return as I have 2 slots open. Maybe this can help us all out?

My best

I'm Mike Hoevet. I have collected vintage cards and memorabilia since 1980. Like most I began with cards then moved into more displayable pieces over the years. I collect baseball items pre 1970 and specialize in bats. Anything with the right "look" will go into the collection. Here are a few examples of what I'm after.

I'm Aaron (hey, guys--I finally made it over here!) and I focus mostly on 1910's - 1920's baseball memorabilia (pennants, pins, programs, postcards, baseballs, etc.), but also dabble in pre-1970 baseball, football and basketball memorabilia (including game-worn jerseys and caps).
