I got bored with cards a few years ago, being a lifelong Montreal Expos fan my focus and passion are Montreal Expos tickets, some expos memorabilia and some game worn Expos which must have 100% provenance (one of my best friends was batboy for the Expos during their glory years 1979-1982 so I get most of my stuff from him), Like this 1982 Al Oliver batting helmet which I was fortunate enough to photo match.
My true passion are the tickets, Unlike cards "every ticket tells a story" and the hunt for them are real, unlike cards where 90% of them can be bought on Ebay or auction houses any day of the week if you have the money, trying to find some tickets can take years, ticket collecting reminds me of what card collecting was many years ago, I have made contact with ticket collectors and we help each other out with tickets, I have helped collectors in the United States with some Expos home games , I have helped a collector with Dave Winfield home run tickets, and a few who collect Mike Schmidt Home run tickets and so on.

Cards / Memorabilia
Many of us who come from the "card" side of the collecting world are most comfortable there...just like everything in life, taking some risk and being willing to learn new things takes courage, success and failure. I'm hoping the memorabilia world will also bring excitement and reward. Reminds me of when I first began collecting when it wasn't just about the money. That said, the more I reasesrch, the more I see opportunities for memorabilia investment / upside.

I feel like the sheer volume of cards that have hit the market in the last year + has just created a totally different vibe on the card side. Auctions never end. One rolls into another into another. Every auction had scads and scads of highly regarded, coveted cards. Miss the build up and suspense of an REA auction rolling out and everyone being absolutely floored by what they were looking at.

Cards
Don't get me wrong, I do love rare / vintage baseball cards...just looking at the same cards for me has gotten a bit old. Many of the cards that I see are auctioned every year or two...literally the exact same card...just sold to a different person from a different (or the same) auction house.
