I am addicted to sports antiques. My collection consists of early photography, ring bats, sports advertising, melon balls, leather football helmets,gloves, and of course trophies (this is what I am most known for). I have attended the national since 1984 or 1985. My father and I collected cards together, but once I got into college, I sold the cards and started on sports antiques. My favorite two pieces are a double-sided A. G. Spalding and Bros. porcelain sign and a stunning silk from the Excelsiors. I enjoy the relationships that I have built over the years with fellow collectors in the hobby ( I just wish more lived on the West Coast). Photos will be posted soon!
