What Are You Hoarding?

[slidekellyslide]

I pick up any and all Lincoln minor league baseball items even if I already have it.

I've been attempting to hoard all Harry Wright items. I've had almost zero luck in my endeavor and I'm not sure if it's an availability or financial issue. I'm leaning towards the latter, but the former is also giving me major issues.

Jeremy, you remind me of our Net54 member who is hoarding baseball ambrotypes.

I am hoarding Robinson Cano doubles baseballs. It's weird, but he's one of my favorite players and there's nothing he does better than hit doubles, so I can't pass them up. I have almost 1% of all the doubles he has ever hit and over 3% of all of his triples.

Scott,
You collect balls hit for doubles? How in the world do you get your hands on those? Do they pull the ball after the play and sell it?

Hoarding baseball ambrotypes? That sounds very difficult. As an optimist, I'm taking that as a compliment.

Heh...that's my kind of collecting. I won't show a pic because they are modern, but I already have probably 100 Lincoln Saltdogs bobblehead dolls...I can't pass them up whenever I find one at a garage sale.

Show a pic anyway Dan - that would be neat to see. When I see pics of other hoards it makes me feel better about my own OCD.

Balls are usually pulled from play because they hit dirt. One of my Cano doubles was next hit for another double by Kendrys Morales and then pitched to Seager. It eventually was pitched in the dirt and then removed from play. The ball is then documented by a team rep hired by MLB and is sold in the stadium later in the game.

I will have to check, but I think all of my game balls (I have around 20) were pulled from the game because they bounced in the dirt, but fouls that do not go into the stands can also be sold later if not tossed into the stands.

I have about 100 19th century bats, almost all hand made. Here are a few examples.

Mike, we recently acquired an early 1900's Stanford football blanket (it's huge). My girlfriend went to Stanford so I thought it would be cool. It arrived with tons of official school documents belonging to two brothers (Lester and Clifford Bunds). I'll post a pic if I can find one.

Last night I acquired my third Robinson Cano game-used bat, so I guess I'm hoarding those also.
