And I think the Cardinals White Base Nodder is the greatest one ever made. It's a true work of art. I believe that if they made an Athletics Elephant Head Nodder, it might have rivaled the Cardinals. But it never happened... just the common/boring boy head, and a true missed opportunity. |

Go for player endorsed baseball gloves. Get their correct hand and find a baseball card with a fielding pose. I get lots of comments on my display.

I agree. That would be a great piece.

I collect lefty endorsed first base mitts from turn of the century to the early 70's and the only problem is with around 100 of these old leather mitts is that with the high humidity in the midwest they get to smelling once in awhile!
Invested in a dehumidifier. |

Like others, I started off with cards, and moved on to what I consider more interesting things. I never liked the idea of collecting sets who needs 10 Wayne Terwilligers? I like type card collecting, but at some point I found myself chasing tiny and uninteresting black and white cards. It feels liberating to stop focusing on anything. I simply buy what I like, with an emphasis on how well it will display. At the moment, most of my searching is for caps, jerseys, pinbacks, autographed programs and display boxes. I just created a website for my memorabilia at: www.chris-counts.pixpa.com

There is a universe of stuff out there that I like (Hartlands, photos, programs, pinbacks, etc.) and find reasonably affordable. It is amazing how relatively inexpensive many of this is. I just don't have deep enough pockets to play the pricey graded card game forever, nor do I want to. That's another liberating aspect of memorabilia...no slabs, no TPGing, no plastic. So many items you guys get are really unique and not a dime a dozen, and it's not always about a particular grade or condition. It is also fun reading lots of old threads on the various types of memorabilia I am interested in. You guys are fountains of info! Last edited by vintagebaseballcardguy; 08-20-2020 at 08:53 PM. |

Good move
I like cards as much as the next guy, and we all started with them, but what I've always called "3-D" or "Oddball" stuff is more fun, IMO. And why not move back and forth once in a while, who says you have to choose one or the other? Happy collecting!

Couldn't agree more. I figure I will still buy cards from time to time, but there's so much else out there.
