Good morning Net54,
Tomorrow, Friday the 6th, I will be showing my collection to my vintage base ball team, The Ohio Village Muffins, at our end of the year banquet. I get to spend a little time talking about it and want to get some stories about why you collect to add.
I have a passion for the sport and the history. My goal is to be able to preserve some history of Columbus base ball and tell the stories of the players. My collection cover players from the 1877 team through 1950 with a lot of focus on the 1889 Columbus Solons presented in the OJ set.
So why do you collect?
Is there a family member that played in the deadball era?
Is it just an investment?
What got you started?
I'd like to tell a few different stories to maybe influence one or two teammates to start collecting.
Thanks,
Steven
