My Braves run, on a budget...

[clydepepper]

Ryan- I also love the S.I.'s - especially the framed ones!

I have a bunch of Braves' cards...let me know if you need anything in particular.

Not for sale: I do have a complete run of Atlanta Braves Media Guides...

For those, you'll have to check back with my nephews and grand-nephews later after I'm gone.

My cousin, Whitlow Wyatt, was the Atlanta Braves first pitching coach.

My brother and I will be siting in Row 2 behind home plate (actually, just to the third-base side of home) for the very last game at Turner Field - October 2 vs. the Tigers (expensive tickets!)

Thanks! I still have two more SIs to get, one with Warren Spahn on the cover and the famous Eddie Mathews first SI cover. I plan on framing all of them and putting them in a nice row, with the horizontal one in the center.

I'm always interested in programs, and I will definitely be getting more in the future, but I always find other things I'd rather have.

I plan on adding a David Justice, WS HR trot pose, and the Sid Bream "slide" bobblehead to my collection.

I also have my Topps base card run, here are some random pics, some autos I've been collecting, and some other random cards...

I'm hoping to get tickets to OD next year. Gonna have to fly out, I live in California, and try to get a room in the Omni, that'll be build close to the stadium. Tickets don't go on sale until early next year and the saving has begun. Keep that ticket stub, you might make a few bucks off of it, if you aren't sentimental. Lately, I've been looking at pocket schedules. Thinking about how far I can go back on those, like when did they start giving those out? I have no idea.

One thing I have planned, and it's something I'll do in the future, is I wanna collect all the ticket stubs for the 1995 world series and frame them. I imagine that'll look really cool.

Another thing I have planned is to get autographed baseballs of the starting 9, rotation, closer and manager of the '95 team. That's another thing that'll take a long time to get. I really wanted to get the entire run of autographs from everyone on the roster during the world series, but there are a couple that'll be impossible to get, plus Blauser didn't play in the WS, and how could you have a '95 run without getting Blauser? LOL

"your Braves, on a budget".....I thought you were talking on how they're currently being run.

A very good friend of mine, and fellow net54 member, is a huge Braves fan and has some great pieces. He is much more into autographs than memorabilia. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me showing off a couple of his pieces.

First, this is some of his 95 World Series balls. Each one is signed by a different player who is on the roster during the series. He is only lacking one more signature, Bobby Cox.

Next is one of my favorite pieces. It's a Braves pitching rubber signed by Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux. Each with their repective career wins and strikeout totals. I was with him when he finished it by getting Tom Glavine. Great piece and great memory.

Wow! Tell your friend I'm super jealous! Great stuff.

Ryan,

Looks like you have some great Braves items and I'm sure your man cave/office will be very cool. Always like to view rooms with cards and memorabilia displayed. Please post on the progress of the room; would love to see it! I've been working on my room/den as well, but it's more of a junk room currently; one day...
