I'm kind of done with cards. . . .

For me it is mainly bats of my favorite player, Wade Boggs. I have everything from little kids tee ball bats to a 1/1 All Star game bat. I blame this collection on a fellow member. He kept emailing me pics of all his amazing bats and got me hooked.

Here is a pic showing the top half of the display I made. I now have enough bats I need to build another one. One for gamers and one for store models.

My awesome wife lets me keep it in the living room and it brings me more joy now than all but a few cards.

We need more pics in this thread so post some

All from the mid 40's from a newspaper photographer from the Philadelphia Bulletin, if I remember correctly. (My mom should know his name).

Always thought these were cool.

Pretty sure football is from Franklin Field.

Hi

I am glad many can and find joy in memorabilia

I wish I could say that I am done with cards.

But for me it is a joy and an addiction. Always looking for the next card.

My version of "branching out" was starting to collect post cards.

I have a few items that are not cards/postcards but nothing that as yet can take the place for me.

I know (now) that I WAY overpaid for this several years ago, but it's one of my favorite photo compositions. I framed it between conservation glass and archival plexi, with a double mat (back to back) so the back/paper caption can be seen, etc. and allows for some air circulation.

I walk by it every day and smile. And it's much more appreciated (in presence and in quantity) than going to the safe and sitting down at the table (which I do still enjoy), but do not get to do everyday.

I was fortunate enough to meet a fellow collector (who ended up becoming a very good friend), who traded me for the newspaper to go with the photographs.

Great stuff, keep it coming!

Beautiful piece. Love it.

A couple of pieces on the home office walls I'm happy to look at every day. . . .

Great thread and starting to feel the same. I have branched out into ticket stubs from monumental events or events I remember from my childhood. I like that they were in the stadium and they are fun to get signed. Alas, more and more people are getting in to them and they are getting pricey.

Great photo. I got my copy of it over 30yrs ago, but never came across the newspaper. I was also fortunate enough to get the matching Ott photo at the same time as the Lou. I framed them myself.
