Funny enough I think I sold a bobblehead to one . I check his feed back and it was just bobblehead after bobblehead .

Have over a 100 psa graded cards of Harmon Killebrew, Coke and Tab tops, magazines, 7/11 slurpee cups , post cards and a couple bobble heads. Hoping to complete PSA mater set in a year or two.

WOW! I love the killers autograph .

I know of an overobsessive, super maniacal Steve Largent collector for whom Mr. Largent practically has a restraining order, but other than that....

My Lance Parrish collection includes every single card ever issued (except the 1990 Donruss Aqueous that I have been looking 10 years for) to the most current set available. Even one of every limited numbered card series except all the 1/1's because that would be impossible.

I got bored looking for new stuff and then starting recollecting them all hand signed and that collection is now at about 70%. Got bored with that and decided to now shoot for the registry on graded, currently at 3rd.

I also have game used jerseys, bats, dozens of signed balls and all the promo items he has done over the years from fast food placemats in the early 80's to the bobblehead giveaways they do for the minor league teams he is always coaching.

My fave is a new-old-stock pair of the cleats he was pushing for Nike in early 80's in box. Took me forever to find those.

So yeah, when I die my wife has to figure out what to do with that...lol.

I have about 500 different single-signed Negro Lg baseballs and about 600 different WWII Veteran MLB signed baseballs. But really, I'm very normal!

[mouschi]

I'm a Canseco super collector! My website is www.tanmanbaseballfan.com - I think I'm at around over 3,500 different cards of his and climbing virtually daily...either by buying new ones or making my own

I really don't consider myself to be a super collector, but I have managed to acquire a lot of Hank Aaron pieces. Corrently, I have 84% of the PSA master set registry, but since about half are in SGC slabs, it's very likely that I will never do a PSA registry set. I've also got several hundred pieces of memorabilia - signed bats, balls, cards, checks, and jersey; and bobbleheads, figures, 100+ wire photos, etc. Really good thing that I have a understanding wife, even if I do get some funny looks as packages come in.

I'm at a little over 400 different career-contemporary Mantle cards and have another 40 or so duplicates I cannot bring myself to part with. I'll never be able to afford most of the test issue ls or really low population cards, but I do have a few. I've also managed to grab a couple autos, although trying not to let myself go crazy there.

Been at it for 36 years, and in the middle i needed some money and sold off maybe 1/3 of it including some real good cards then had to re-buy everything when things smoothed out for me. Its been a long haul though, a collection like this does not happen overnite unless you are rich, which i am not (unfortunetely lol). Note that on the real expensive cards I have been willing to take low condition as i feel its better to have a card than not have a card because you cant afford it in nice condition.
