Al C.risafulliBruce, I just noticed your post in this thread about the Federal League memorabilia.
I collect New Jersey baseball memorabilia, and it seems we've hit some common ground. Not realizing you were the consignor of that piece, I recently used that very auction as a frame of reference when bidding on this item, which I was pleased to win. It's an absolutely fantastic piece that I'm thrilled to own.
I collect what I collect for much of the same reasons as Bruce states, although I don't collect the same things he collects, or even the same way. I love baseball history, I love Americana, I work in advertising and thus love that as well, and I think that the things I collect tie all that together well.
