Al C.risafulliJudson, you collect NJ stuff? Where do you go for research?
The posts in this thread are very interesting. I had never heard of anyone collecting this way (except Cobby), so it's nice to hear that there are so many people doing it.
Obviously the bulk of New Jersey's history lies in the minor leagues and in the Negro Leagues, which is another thing that gives it HUGE appeal to me. Digging around, learning about all the history that was made in my backyard is awesome - particularly because there hasn't been a wealth of readily available information.
Do you guys collect memorabilia as well, or just cards? If I do this, I'll likely do the whole shebang - there's all sorts of memorabilia out there that I've always thought was cool, but always held back from buying. So I'm getting more and more excited about the prospect.
I'm also excited about digging into SABR, it seems like there's a lot of assistance there.
