Default why do YOU collect sports memorabilia?

Posted By: Bruce Dorskind



We have been collectors of ultra rare baseball memorabilia for more than three
decades.

We collect baseball memorabilia (in addition to our type card collection)
because of our life-long interest in marketing and advertising. Many of the baseball
pieces which grace the walls of our home were late 19th century and early 20th
century examples of classic American advertising.

We also enjoy player endorsed sheet music and colorful scorecards from defunct
leagues such as the Union Association, Players League, Federal League and Negro
League. A focused examination of said pieces will provide the viewer with great
insight into the history of America's sport as well as the history of our country.

In summary it is a love of advertising, marketing, history, and, of course, baseball
which serves as the foundation for our interest in baseball memorabilia
