I collected cards for more than 45 years, and when packs of cards, and cards themselves, started to get way too expensive for my budget, it was just too much for me. I then bought my first game used bat and I was hooked.
Owning an actual piece of game used memorabilia that your favorite player used in an actual game was just a new awesome experience for me.
My hope is game used memorabilia will really take off one day. Most importantly, game used fielding gloves; the rarest and most difficult piece of game used memorabilia. I'm talking about a players primary glove; not all of these gloves you see being sold as game used, that were used in spring training or for workouts.

Agreed! Once I acquired an MLB Authenticated game used hat from my favorite player in Zack Greinke, as much as I enjoy his cards, they sort of lost their luster in a way as I finally had the ultimate Greinke item. It’s almost as if the game used hat spoiled most everything else for me.
