I've been attempting to hoard all Harry Wright items. I've had almost zero luck in my endeavor and I'm not sure if it's an availability or financial issue. I'm leaning towards the latter, but the former is also giving me major issues.

Jeremy, you remind me of our Net54 member who is hoarding baseball ambrotypes.

I am hoarding Robinson Cano doubles baseballs. It's weird, but he's one of my favorite players and there's nothing he does better than hit doubles, so I can't pass them up. I have almost 1% of all the doubles he has ever hit and over 3% of all of his triples.

Scott,
You collect balls hit for doubles? How in the world do you get your hands on those? Do they pull the ball after the play and sell it?

Hoarding baseball ambrotypes? That sounds very difficult. As an optimist, I'm taking that as a compliment.

Heh...that's my kind of collecting. I won't show a pic because they are modern, but I already have probably 100 Lincoln Saltdogs bobblehead dolls...I can't pass them up whenever I find one at a garage sale.

Show a pic anyway Dan - that would be neat to see. When I see pics of other hoards it makes me feel better about my own OCD.

What are these, Chris?

[slidekellyslide]

Here are some of them...these are mostly without boxes...the rest are all packed away in tubs. The batboy is by far the hardest to obtain, it was available only in the gift shop in the early years. Second hardest is the "mean face" Homer the Haymarket Hound, he underwent a major facelift as he was scaring children. This bobble at one time sold for more than $100 on ebay...the Obama and Romney are also pretty tough to obtain. The rest are very easy.
