BobC, oh believe you us, we get it! We dabble in card collecting as well, in spite of a collecting budget
that's a microscopic fraction of the budget 99% of the guys in this forum have on hand to play with.

Another thing about memorabilia is if you have a favorite player and have a contract, or personal effect, autographed picture, or even a bat. . . . . well that's something your dude owned or held in his hands. That's a connection that you don't get with cards. (Unless signed of course.)

I completely agree with Steve. I have 71 World Series Ring that I never remotely dreamed of owning when I watched that Series as a child. There is something about taking a swing with a Clemente game used bat that for a guy like me is magical. The rarity of memorabilia is more like a treasure hunt. Conversely if you have the financial resources you can own most cards. I routinely sell cards knowing that I can easily replace them. I can’t remember when I last attempted to sell any of my 1971 Bucs memorabilia. In the end I guess I’m not bored with cards they just don’t offer the same thrill for me.

Lot of good insights on this thread.
Lots of great and varied memorabilia to collect.

I am still a card person but could see at some point expanding into memorabilia

LOL, I hear you.

I started out wanting a couple Wade Boggs bats. Now I have around 30-35 of them.

Personally, memorabilia is what I enjoy the most. I collected cards when I was young, but now could pick up any of those cards I collected routinely.

I’ve narrowed my focus on collecting my favorite player when growing up, Brooks Robinson, to include almost everything. Along with Brooks I like to collect unique Orioles items like stadium signs, banners, programs, etc. Really anything that’s displayable and cool looking.

By the way anyone have any unique Brooksie or Orioles items available?!?
