john wHey, thanks for some good ideas.  I think my favorite is where Jeff buys some stuff for me.  I really buy second tier sports collecting stuff like golf, boxing and curling, but always manage to pick up some vintage baseball every season.  I guess my real problem is lack of focus consistant with my budget (ok, what budget!).
Gotta take a look at that pirate thang, too..............
