What Is Your #1 Game Used Collecting Priority For 2010?

[thomecollector]

1. Knock a bat or two off my "cornerstones" list.
Gamers of my favorites like, George Brett, Gwynn, Bagwell, Biggio, Thome, etc. If I win the Powerball jackpot, Ted Williams!

2. Add a game used fielding glove to my collection.

3. Work on a display compromise that makes both me and the wife happy. She doesnt like a bunch of dirty bats hanging on the wall...

4. Build more contacts and relationships with fellow collectors.

Camp ,
Email me maybe I can help knock one off your list.
Happy Holidays! Roger

Finding another Notre Dame game worn bowl jersey - unfortunately, these remain few and far between, except plenty of misrepresented jerseys keep coming up on the market that are not true game worn ND bowl jerseys. In 2009, I saw exactly ZERO real Notre Dame game worn bowl jerseys for sale.

But just for fun, and to show everyone that they must do their homework carefully on any reported game used bowl jersey, I did see the following jerseys that were not true gamers:
-a 2004 Insight Bowl jersey - problem was the jersey number was not in use by the team for the game - not even a walk-on had that number. So kind of hard to be game worn. Probably a jersey that someone added the patch to after the fact.
-a 2006 Sugar Bowl jersey - problem with that one was zero use for a player that appeared in the game, and that a 6 foot 190 lbs DB does not use a size 50 jersey.
-a 2001 Fiesta Bowl jersey - completely wrong style sleeve logo

We'll see what 2010 brings.

Happy Holidays!

My main priority is to obtain atleast one Chicago Bears Orange Alternate of a star player. I would also welcome a shot at A Walter Payton game used item.

Tickets are a tough task, especially if you're looking for specific ones. Took me a while, but I finally found and bought Arod's 1st Career Grand Slam Ticket. Hope to eventually find a "full" ticket.

Good luck and hope you find the one's you need.

Tony,
Thanks for the kind words. I have been fortunate enough to get over the 500 + mark. I have most of the milestones. #1, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. plus the game used line up card signed by Ron Gardenhire from his 300 HR game vs Twins. But, I usually run across one ,or two
off ebay once every couple of months.
Happy Holidays!

Looking forward to my first reasonably priced Garko Giants gamer.

Would also love to find a Reggie Brooks (Redskins), Tom Carter (Redskins), Todd Lyght (Rams), Bryant Young (49ers)

Greg,

Good list - here's my two cents on what I've seen of those historically.

Reggie Brooks - saw one gamer of his about 4 years ago on ebay - problem was that it was a '94 tagged jersey but was missing the 75th anniversary patch. Looked good otherwise (maybe recycled for '95?) and fetched a good price from whoever got it. Haven't seen one since.

Tom Carter - I think I saw one "gamer" of his about 5 years ago with no wear. Passed on it - haven't seen any otherwise.

Todd Lyght - saw one that looked good several years ago. And I know what happened to it . Haven't seen any recently.

Bryant Young - saw one "gamer" on ebay a few years ago - I stayed away because it had a significant lack of wear. Have seen a couple team issued Young jerseys, but never a true beat up jersey as expected for a defensive lineman.

Not sure if you ever have gone to the Wiitchduck Card Show, or even if they have them anymore, but maybe if they have show near us, we can meet up. I used to go to the Tuff Stuff Show in Richmond, VA. Not sure if they have it anymore.
