Besides t206's. I focus on Tommy Bridges, the former Detroit Tigers Pitcher who graduated from my High School here in Middle Tennessee. Like Jeremy I also collect Nashville Vols issues. By the way Jeremy are you located here in Middle Tennessee? I'm about 10 minutes outside of Downtown Nashville in Hendersonville.

I do collect things related to baseball in New Jersey - not necessarily pro baseball, just baseball in general. My collection is not very large - it's mostly postcards - but I've got a few nice items in it.

David should be scouring the Hawaiian flea markets for a poster from Spalding's world tour or Alexander Cartwright items.

.....I know I would be...even knowing how frivolous that effort would be.

I collect only Minnesota stuff...I also have a large Gavvy Cravath collection but he played for Minneapolis (but most of it his is Philly stuff). I'm currently trying for a near master set of T206 backs for the Minneapolis and St. Paul teams, no big rush and things are pretty cheap.

The reason I got back into collecting was by finding a Young Minneapolis T206 card when I was looking for "Old Minneapolis" stuff on eBay. It seems to make it easier for the wife to put up with since I'm not only collecting cards, but also a small piece of history from our hometown.
