What do you do if you collect a certain team or player?

What do I do? I check e-bay every day for items on Mets game used/worn, Robin Ventura,Swoboda,Viola,Dave Mlicki,Jay Payton,Bill Madlock,Van Slyke,etc. I wouldn't sell the Ventura,Viola,Swoboda,Mlicki stuff, the rest, who knows. It's funny how there are items that are so important to get and then once obtained you say what did I do that for?

Yeah even though you say never if you ever part with your Ventura Gamer I want 1st dibs..

As a Patriots collector since 1972, I have boxes and boxes of items I no longer have room to show. I used to put up anything with the Patriots logo on it as I couldn't afford the better stuff. When I was able to afford game used and autographed articles I put alot of the cheaper stuff away. I give alot of that away to kids who are fans.

When I was in Iraq in 06/07 I sold some jerseys to help finance a car on my return. I have regretted that ever since and would not do it again. I did try to sell a game presentation ball of a player I had 2 of. It did not come close to my price so I gave it to a fellow fan who hooks me up with game tix whenever I can get up there.

I've aquired many duplicate 86 Met, Gary Carter, Mike Piazza, and Ed Hearn bats during the years and have sold some to other collectors who needed them in their collections or to finance purchases of Met post season bats which is the new focus of my collecting.

Just looking to see who all only collects a certain team or if you collect teams and other teams players bats, jerseys, ect. Or if you just collect random players all together?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I collect mostly Kansas City Royals (70s and 80s players - Frank White, Amos Otis, McRae, Willie Wilson, etc) and some of the current young stars/prospects (Butler, Hosmer, Moustakas). But I also collect some of my favorites from other teams, Bagwell, Berkman, Gwynn, hopefully add a Ramirez, Biggio and Thome at some point.

I only collect Milwaukee Braves & Brewers game used equipment. My collection is based on the 1957 Braves and the 1982 Brewers team.

I mainly collect Justin Morneau bats (my favorite current player). However, I also have a few Don Mattingly's (my favorite as a teenager), a Larry Bowa (my favorite as a child), a few Joe Mauer's (just because he's a Twin and he's Joe Mauer), and David Wright and Evan Longoria (because I met both and they both are super-nice people). However, all I collect are GU bats.

I collect recent Cardinals bats and other game used items, but would possibly venture out for a favorite player of another team.

[spartakid]

I collect sort of randomly, most of the guys I collect are modern "stars" but then there are players who i just really like Rose, Gwynn, etc. who's bats I have as well.
