Sharing collections...

[Mikehealer]

One of my favorite things about this hobby and net54 in particular is seeing some of the great collections of other collectors. While my main interest is rather ordinary(t206 HOFers) I really enjoy looking and learning about all the different issues. I know this kind of thread is not very original and has been done countless times, but surely everyone enjoys looking at cards.

Here is a link to my collection
http://imageevent.com/mhgt/hoft206

Lets see some more, be it one card or an entire collection.

[Robextend]

Love threads like this. It is great to see what everyone collects, and to share as well.

Looking to buy/trade some low end t206s

[yoyot1]

See my sig. It's mostly scanned in, but i've been too lazy to hook up the scanner since I got my new computer a while ago...

[jp1216]

Did you have a booth at the National?

? I wasn't there - but wish I had made it! Why? Did someone steal my cards and sell them? :D

[rhettyeakley]

I get quite a bit of enjoyment out of having my website. My "For Sale" pages are outdated as I'm in the process of moving most of my non-essential stuff to ebay (kryvintage on ebay) but the pages that highlight my personal collection are at the bottom. I get quite a few people contacting me now as my website shows up fairly early in most Seach Engines when doing searches for some sets of cards.

? I wasn't there - but wish I had made it! Why? Did someone steal my cards and sell them? :D

Reason I asked is that there was a guy there whose booth was basically a memorial to the Billy Ripken error card.

[vintagetoppsguy]

Nice cards everybody. Mike, I love all the rare back HOFes.

I only scan my graded cards, not raw. Here are most, but I have more that I just haven't had time to scan.

My current focus seems to be scorecards, like this one from when Mantle had a pretty decent game on May 13, 1955...

I still have a bit of scanning to do but you can see my collection by following the link in my sig...it's been nice spending the morning checking out everyone's collections...

[T206Collector]

I also need to do some upkeep, and write more on my blog, but it is pretty close to where I want it to be....

It is in my sig line...

[leftygrove10]

My main focus is Lefty Grove, but I do have a few vintage sets and other miscellanous cards. See the link below.

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

I too enjoy seeing other peoples collections, but I would do it with caution. I have always been more than willing to sharing my collection with others until the last year when other collectors started using the information against me and have gotten annoyed with the number of people that contact you about selling my cards. I have have since put a bit of a safe guard on my pictures on the internet and don't divulge as much info on what exactly I am collecting and picking up.

I recommend if you are collecting something specific that you keep it to yourself and until your mission is accomplished. There are collectors out there that see thing find it cool and begin collecting and don't care who else collects them same.

In the past year there is a group of us that have been working together to get the right cards in the right collections, they are the ones that you now are the true friends in the hobby.

Lee

LOL? Is your signature there just to throw people off what you really collect? :D

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Matt,

My signature is old since I have been after the Cycle 460 subset for about 8 years and got burned for sharing information and and my journey to get there. After it became aware that my needs list was being used as a want list I had friends in the hobby that either traded or sold me cards they owned so they would be in my collection. These are the type of gestures that are remembered for now and in the future and I thank them all.

Lee

[frohme]

Mine is in my sig as well - T207 & pre-war Pirates mostly. The former done thanks in large part to the generosity of board members; the latter on hold since marriage in April. May be back some day after things settle.

I have some new Old Judges that are included yet.

I'm still learning the concept of focus!

Bruce, your collection page has been on my favorite list for a
while now...

BTW, your Irwin 1889 portrait leaves me drooling...

Freakin' sweet caramel collection!!!!

[DanP]

I started collecting again in 2006 because my wife told me I can decorate our new family room however I wanted. I decided on a MLB Player HOF theme after stumbling upon Hal Lewis' website.

Great thread! I love looking at other collectors collections.
Rustywilly: I love your collection and website!

[h2oya311]

Nice thread -

I just got around to scanning many of my remaining favorites (see below) after selling most of the 1950 - 1970 rookies (since they are so plentiful).

Most of what I have left in my collection are the oddball "rookie" cards and a few really scarce items (E107's, Baguer's, Zeenuts, etc.). Keep in mind that many of these were believed to be rookie cards (per my research) - - that is, until I started reading the threads that Phil Garry has posted on this forum over the past few years...

My collection has been hidden from others until today.

Enjoy!

[triwak]

Outstanding collection, Derek!!!

[h2oya311]

Thanks Ken...I appreciate the kind words...yours ain't too shabby either!!!

It's definitely been fun checking out other people's collections via this post.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Derek:

You've got some really great cards there!

My HOF collection of SGC graded cards is linked in my signature.
I still have a few hundred that I will likely slab someday, but many of my favorites are there now (less my E105 Wagner or E210-2 Ruth whose day will come soon)

The other sets I have slabbed can be followed from the SGC registry...T205, C46, E210 York, E95 and E96...notice that these are mostly lower grade beauties, high grade collectin' dudes may get a headache here...

Sorry but no scans of my 14 set quest of 1971 Topps Football yet...that's just silly.

Great stuff guys. Threads like this are definately the best, at least in my opinion.
No bitching, no name calling, no acting like 5 year olds. Kind of nice.

Keep 'em coming.

[christopher.herman]

My collection is here:
http://www.collectorfocus.com/collection/christopher_herman
I'm currently actively trying to complete the W515-2 and W514 strip card sets and then I'll get back to focusing hardcore on The Monster (Sweet Cap backs only; PSA 2-3-4 & SGC 30-40-50 range).
I have a nice complete (sub)set of T218 boxers (which I decided to hang onto since I love the poses and colors) and am passively working on the W580 boxing strip cards as well.
Thanks to everyone else for sharing and good luck all.

Thanks, Gary & Ricky.

The Ruth - Boston Red Sox image is actually the back cover of a 1915 Game 6 World Series Program. There are actually 2 Boston Red Sox team photos in the program with Ruth pictured in both. There is also a Philadelphia (NL) team photo including a young GCA and rookie-year Dave Bancroft.

The Willard Brown piece also pictures Hilton Smith & Buck O'Neill as well.

Pick ups have been very slow for me, I hope to be able to add some new stuff soon.

Your sites are all very nice. Unfortunately, I do not have the tech knowledge to get together a site showing all I own. Can anyone give some pointers on how to start such a site? Or suggest some easy reading on how to do it myself?

Chris, thanks for link, looks kind of easy.

But question - I just tossed this idea to my wife and she was skeptical of the safety angle - showing so much value thru internet for anyone to see. Any chance a real smart unlawful type could hack in and get info on where you live? Possibly be able to make burglary attempt? (even though 90% of all my cards are in safe deposit box, burgler doesn't know that)

[glchen]

Thanks, Gary & Ricky.

Thanks, Phil. That's a great item. I'm going to have to start looking for one of those programs myself! :D
