I have a decent Minor League and Rookie card collection of Brad Wilkerson (from my hometown). I am only missing the following 3 cards out of a total of 52 different ones from 1999 to 2001 (not counting any 1/1): 1999 Just Debuts Imagine #10, 2001 Bowman Multiple Games Relics Auto #AMGRBW, 2001 Upper Deck Rookie Update USA Touch of Gold Auto #BW.

I also collect bottles of hot sauce. On my desk at work I have 3 mini bottles of Tabasco, a bottle of Hell's Inferno Naga Bhut Jolokia, & a bottle of Blair's Pure Death Sauce with Jolokia autographed by Blair Lazar, the founder of Blair's Sauces. This Saturday I picked up a new bottle of Scorpion Death Stalker that contains the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper and the Red Savina Habanero.

I kinda like some wrestling cards at times. The first card is Daniel Bryan's first card best I can tell. The second is an early Steve Austin card.

I team collect former Willmar Stingers players that have made it to the pros, except for Hunter Dozier (if he were cheaper to colect, I would).

Aside from sports/autographs, I collect video game stuff. Games, consoles, promo items...

Night gallery is awesome!

I collect a lot of local guys who made it to the pros but never really panned out.

Sacramento! I remembered! I cant believe i forgot. One day, i checked and saw that there was one in sacramento. I turned to jen and said, lets go! So thats what we did that day. Drove to sacramento, hit the hard rock, and drove home. That was a fun time.

we need to go to the new San Francisco cafe. The San fran we have now came when the cafe was in the middle of town, and the new one is at the Piers.

My brother gave me a Destin and New Orleans, but they arent on "display" since we havent been there. Yeah, these do take a bit of room. But it really is a cool thing to collect. Here is a pic of ours. I have them held at the base with double sided tape. Really hope an earthquake doesnt knock em down one day...

Thats different... What made you start to collect these?

My family has a cabin on a lake northwest of the Twin Cities and I take my family to visit every summer. My sister's in-laws have a cabin about 30 minutes away and they drive through rural Minnesota to go from lake to lake. On one of the trips they notice a sign on the front of the store called Max Bats. Since my brother and I both play in a wood bat league, she decided to take us to their store and get us each a bat when we came out for a visit.

In the middle of nowhere is this store with a little sign out front. We walk into a small showroom and the VP of Sales, Paul Jonhson, greets us. (I don't think they get a lot of walk-ins :smile: .) They have a bunch of bats on racks and front and center is an enormous poster of Jimmy Rollins with his Max Bat. Apparently he's been a loyal customer since 2005 (an MVP season will do that.) I picked up a bat and have been using them ever since.

Here's what I have so far:
