they had quite an article on the baseball collection of Joe Garagiola. I knew he was a collector from a letter I received from him as a 10-year old, but the article also mentioned he had a (complete?) T206 set. |

Garry Gaetti. I read where when he was still playing he'd bring his card albums to shows looking for singles for the sets he was working on. |

Frank Thomas (the original) has a great Topps collection and is a fantastic fan of cards. I have traded with Frank several times over the past ten years and had a wonderful oppurtunity to sit with him at a mall card show about 5 or 6 years ago and just open some packs and talk baseball. He took a break from signing and sent his wife to shop at the mall and we just had a blast. |

I remember when he first appeared on the Beckett boards. Of course people were skeptical that it was him so they asked him to take a picture of himself with his webcam and he obliged. Pretty funny. |

I just recently found out that Duane Ward was a collector of autographs, anyhow. A couple of friends of mine purchased VERY early team-signed balls from a Vegas-based eBay seller perhaps two years ago. I was looking at the very same auctions, but the photos the seller offered were both too small and too out of focus for me to be bothered with. My loss, as the balls turned out to be fine and the seller was nobody other than Duane Ward himself! Oh, and he certainly had an idea of value (or at least of what HE must have paid for the items in question)! |

I've dealt with Duane Ward a couple of times, before I knew who he was. One time I noticed someone with a bunch of real vintage stuff - as well as quite a few 1980's Toronto Blue Jays autographed balls - listed on ebay. I ended up getting a 1913 Washington Senators signed ball and some others, and the transactions were under the name "D. Ward." When he later listed a number of Duane Ward Blue Jays jerseys, I put two and two together (took me a while), and figured out who he was. I told him I'd enjoyed seeing him pitch with the Braves, and wished that he could have stuck around a few more years in Atlanta. |

I have a family member who plays in the NFL. I was visiting him one time, and he was showing me his childhood baseball card collection and asking if anything in there was valuable. Well, he had all the same things I did (Topps, Donruss, Fleer 1980s issues), so I had to tell him, "No, not anymore. You could put them on ebay, but I don't think people would even pay you the shipping charge for most of this." I suggested we go online just so he could see what I was talking about. Once we were on ebay and found all the stars' 1988 Topps cards listed for a penny with no takers, we found one of his cards from a shiny new issue, and it was listed for like $50. He thought that was funny. |

I just remembered - I have a friend who runs a card shop in a suburb of Atlanta. About 15 years ago, I went into the shop and he said "Guess who was in here just a while ago. A woman came in with a little girl and said "Do you have any cards of Steve Garvey?" I asked her if he was her favorite player, and she said "No, I just wanted to show my daughter what her father looks like." |

or if it was a Fleer stunt, but I remember former Met Pat Zachary's 1982 Fleer card was him at his locker looking at his 1981 Fleer card |

The late Darrell Porter used to hang out in a card shop all the time that I frequented around Belton, MO (Just South of KC) back in the late 1980's or early 1990's. I talked to him a few times and he was always looking at cards but not sure if he collected. Unfortunately, he died in a drug related incident in 2002 at the age of 50. Very good player and MVP of the 82 Series with the Cards. |

Chris Cooley of the Washington Redskins is an active Collector who buys and sells on ebay. He even auctions off autographed memorabilia and cards of himself on ebay for charity. Phil Hughes, like mentioned, was actively on Beckett message boards, but ever since the site changed in August, the Beckett message boards are very, very dead, with most of their members moving to a new site called freedomcardboard.com |
