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.

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
    • Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
