Nice pics...and that is a nice looking Mantle graded a "2". If your interest are changing - how has your collecting interests changed? What specifically are you concentrating in now?

As for me, I've found I am much less interested in collecting autographed baseballs since forgeries became so prevalent. I am content to let my unauthenticated examples sit in a dry, dark box.

Thanks for the comments and welcoming.

I'm finding myself wanting to collect rarer items that do not surface often.
Not so much cardboard anymore.

Collecting tickets intrigues me very much. Also early 1900's official national league Spalding and American league Reach baseballs.

I no longer drool at stuff on eBay, rather stuff in auction catalogs.
Not to say I can spend a whole lot, just prefer the historical rarer pieces.

I am starting to get that most of Net54 members have evolved into this type of genre in collecting.

Zach I assume you collect vintage era player autograph's? How careful should I be or expect with a Clemente auto that's already certified by PSA?
I'm trying to figure out just how rare his auto's are as the prices seem to be all over the place.
