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.

    • That hit on Stolarz was dirty was fug. Just came in and gave him an elbow on purpose to the head. 
    • Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games. 
    • lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
