I would guess most of us have the collectors bug for other stuff besides sports cards. I'm going through my Grandmother's estate this week and finding it hard to part with anything old. |

Phish posters and jerseys. I can't afford game worn - and like wearing 'em anyway - but I love hockey and futbol jerseys. Can't wait for my new Arsenal kit to get here! |

Rookwood pottery - but not as seriously as cards. Mostly pre-1930 or so. It's breathtaking. I'll post pictures if I ever get any. |

Over the years I've collected a lot stuff. I had the finest collection of Banana Splits (late 60-early 70s Saturday morning show) memorabilia until I sold most of it to Hana-Barbera for their archives. Was very active in the Indian/Wild West card market before exploded. I have collected lunchboxes, coins, stamps and many other things. I had a massive collection of action figures (over 2000) that included a complete collection of vintage Star Wars toys except for Jaba's Sail Barge. I still have a few hundred around, mostly robots and anime related figures. Also have there big interactive wrestling figures that are just a hoot. I will probably never selll them just because they are to funny and too much fun to play with. I cut my DVD collection down from 300 to about 200. I also like collecting girlfriends |

Neat question. I didn't start collecting memorbillia until after the kids graduated from college, couldn't afford it until then. I started out collecting autographed balls. Mostly, I get the autographs in person going to signings in the area where I live, but also at induction week at Cooperstown. There something about shaking the hand of the old timers and watching them smile as my wife tries to take our picture. I don't mind paying them for the autograph either. I figure they wouldn't do it if they didn't need the money. When you get an autograph in person there is always a story connected with it. I remember Whitey Ford helping me climb up on stage in Cleveland because my back was out and having Johnny Bench want to buy the Cooperstown sweater I was wearing because his wife hadn't bought him that particular one yet. Even the bad experiences like having Willie Mays snarl at me for saying something stupid like "Willie, your the greatest." I could tell a story about every autographed baseball in my collection, and I can't wait to get to Cooperstown this weekend make some more memories. |

We are collectors aren't we, great stuff everyone. Most have seen these before, but I at least took fresh pictures . Vintage peanut roasters (store and street models). Heres one I use often. A Cretors counter top model from the 20s. Runs on electric and has a small motor to turn the drum.
A Bartholomew Victor from the turn of the century. This one ran on white gas or naptha and is powered by a clockwork mechanism with a governor. It can run for 4-5 mintues with 1 winding. I don't fire this one up as far as roasting but love watching the gears turn. A Kingery from the teens. This one used to run on "city gas". I now run it with propane. Also gasoline utility engines. These were used mostly on the farm (although many small machine shops, sewing factories etc also were powered by larger versions of these) to run generators, churn butter, grind corn, pump water, power lumber mills, run tractors etc. Here are 2 New Holland engines (a 2 HP and a 5) 2 HP Economy 1 1/2 HP Root and Vandervoort a small running model edited to add what runs the peanut roasters and what the engines were used for. |

Travel Decals from the 40's and 50's. I would venture to guess that I have the most complete collection of Miss America decals in existence ( I hope I am wrong and someone has a complete set !) I also have a near complete set of Baseball Cutie decals --risque little decals issued about 1954 depicting beautiful girls in baseball uniforms. |

As I started to look for earlier and earlier baseball images (from cabinets to tins to CDV’s to Ambrotypes and so on), I started to appreciate the art involved in the earliest form of images (Daguerreotypes) and the people behind the ghostly-silver photos that had long since passed on. I started off collecting any old dag (true black & white images on silver coated metal plates) but have now progressed to collecting the experimental period of photography from 1839 – 1843. (2 pictured are from 1840 & 1841 respectively) |

I collect wire photos/original photos of Foxx. I have about 55 of them. Many 29,30,31 world series action photos. Some others with Foxx involved with Ruth,gehrig, Williams and dozens of other hall of famers, I also have many with he and his family, wife, etc. etc. casual photos of him at parties. I have no idea, but I love 'em. They can be framed and displayed. With UV protected glass obviously. My wife recently let me hang a few Ruth wire photos in our family room. There is hope I guess..... |

I used to collect Golden and Silver Age comics but sold an immense group on ebay years ago to finance my card collecting. Now, I collect First Edition books, both baseball (complete set of Wilfred McCormick's Bronc Burnett, Rocky McCune, etc. with dustjackets, Clair Bee's Chip Hilton, ditto) and other interesting books. The most prized is a Raymond Chandler first edition, The Long Goodbye, followed closely by Eight Men Out and The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant, later made in to the play "Damn Yankees." |
