What do you collect?

I was a huge sports cards kid, and started picking up random packs or eBay cards a few years ago. Hate myself after buying them now (except a few of them), but it's the nostalgia that gets me I think. Autographed jerseys/helmets/footballs are the main thing now to decorate my man-cave. Once I actually get a man-cave.

_ The Subway thing is interesting. 

 

 - Loved the Jim Abbott collection also. Brings back great baseball memories as a kid. 

 

As I kid I collected baseball cards and comics but not comic books (I hated comic books). I would take the Sunday paper every weekend and cut out my top 5 favorite comics and pasted them in a book. My mom still had that thing and there were hundreds of them. Apparently I was partial to Calvin and Hobbes.

 

In my adult life I collect(ed) a wide variety of sports memorabilia. Mostly stuff from Philly but also a lot of unique things from all cities and all sports. Lot's of Mike Tyson stuff also. 

 

 I have jerseys from tons of NFL teams but not real popular players it's more like Akili Smith, Brian Bosworth, Jim Plunkett, Andre Rison, etc. . I displayed all that stuff in my garage and in display cases but got divorced and now they sit in boxes in storage. I really need to sell that stuff off but my son wants me to hang on to most of it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to do this, but I keep a hotel room key from every place I travel to.  If I don't stay at a hotel, I'll keep a train or subway ticket.  When I get back home, I write the date, where it was, and what I did/why I was there.

 

I also keep every ticket stub from anything I go to.  Hell, I think I have one from the symphony when I had to attend for a college class.

    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
