For me, my greatest pleasure from my collection is showing off my stuff to family or friends who visit the “museum”…and maybe teaching a novice something about baseball or the hobby. If I show them a black and white Lou Gehrig exhibit, the reaction would be “that’s cool”. If I showed them a bat, put it in their hands, and said “THAT is a game-used bat from Babe Ruth almost 100 years ago”, I think their jaw would fall to the floor. That’s priceless!
