Bored With Cards?

71buc · #1 11-16-2021, 09:40 PM

I completely agree with Steve. I have 71 World Series Ring that I never remotely dreamed of owning when I watched that Series as a child. There is something about taking a swing with a Clemente game used bat that for a guy like me is magical. The rarity of memorabilia is more like a treasure hunt. Conversely if you have the financial resources you can own most cards. I routinely sell cards knowing that I can easily replace them. I can’t remember when I last attempted to sell any of my 1971 Bucs memorabilia. In the end I guess I’m not bored with cards they just don’t offer the same thrill for me.

Lot of good insights on this thread.
Lots of great and varied memorabilia to collect.

I am still a card person but could see at some point expanding into memorabilia

LOL, I hear you.

I started out wanting a couple Wade Boggs bats. Now I have around 30-35 of them.

I hope you are wrong. My wife is already up in arms at the cards if I took to much space in the home I might be living in the shed

You can store bats in lots of places: in corners, under the bed, behind your coats in a closet, etc. And becasue they can handle moisture better than cards, photos, autos, and jerseys, you can keep them in the garage or the basement when necessary. Really no trouble at all.

Hey, as long as the shed is large enough to display your collection you should be good�

Personally, memorabilia is what I enjoy the most. I collected cards when I was young, but now could pick up any of those cards I collected routinely.

I�ve narrowed my focus on collecting my favorite player when growing up, Brooks Robinson, to include almost everything. Along with Brooks I like to collect unique Orioles items like stadium signs, banners, programs, etc. Really anything that�s displayable and cool looking.

By the way anyone have any unique Brooksie or Orioles items available?!?
