O/T Sports memorabilia vs. other collecting options

[autocentral]

I've always really loved art. I guess going to art auctions when I was a kid really had an impact on me. But my love for cards/memorabilia triumphs the art collection. I have recently gotten really gotten into a combination of the two. Sports art is really catching on and I love it.

The centerpiece of my sports collection is a gorgeous Graig Kreindler painting.

His work is nothing short of amazing.

I hope to add one of Graig's pieces. Amazing artwork!

My neighbor collects 1600s-1700s English silver pitchers and has a mantle that goes all around his living room (all the walls) that displays them. The only problem is he's an elitist snob with a prickly personality, but he'll give you a tour if you're interested and answer all your questions. He warms to you a bit when he finds out you're a fellow collector and will ask you about what you collect, even if it's baseball memorabilia.

I seem to collect all times of antiques especially primitives, tools, cameras, travel, books, lots of smalls..I could go on and on - anything that has some real history to it.

Too many things besides sports stuff.

Stamps, especially the 1870's ones issued for the cabinet level departments

Coins- Haven't been active is a while but I browse a bit now and then.

Old tools/machinery/science stuff especially if it's repairable or still working. But I haven't found a nice item I want at the price in a couple years.

Pretty much anything old that I take a liking to and can afford. Ephemera, decorative items, even the occasional piece of furniture.

My wife is into antique textiles, and other family and friends collect some different stuff so an antique shop trip usually means I buy more stuff for them than for me.

I collect books about topics I like, including baseball, Lewis and Clark, Brooklyn Bridge, book collecting, Battle of Trenton and local history. Also favorite authors and favorite fiction titles.

In addition to cards and memorabilia, I like to pick up watches to commemorate special occasions.
