Which player collectors collect more than just cards of your player?

henderson939 · Oct 14, 2013

I collect almost everything that pictures or mentions Rickey Henderson and was wondering if any other player collectors did the same. It seems most guys here just do cards. I always come across oddball stuff that pictures other players and have some stuff that others might like in their collections.

I don't do everything but I have expanded my collection quite a bit. I just picked up a Mcdonalds drive through decal for a Puckett extra value meal.

I have a 92 Diet Pepsi Cup with Puckett, Alomar, Gruber, & Clemens on it and an SABR Journal.

I collect everything Jason Heyward. I even have a few unopened boxes just because his picture is on the front.

I collect anything licensed with Bonds on it. I have over 100 magazines, cups, hats, etc. We need to start a player collector non-card thread to share pics!

I do, but outside of an SGA fishing lure, Perk doesn't have much.

For Kingery and Kiecker, I buy wire photos and things when the money is available.

ALTHOUGH, someone put up 5-10 wire photos of Kingery sitting outside of his house, and with his dog, etc. I decided to pass on those.

I'll collect just about anything. I've got a Cal Ripken Yo-Yo, pencil, pins, advertisements, cereal boxes, even empty bags of lays potato chips. The only odd non card item I have of Brady is a Topps Proshooter Marble.

DiebytheCubs · Oct 14, 2013

I have a couple of advertisements featuring Ron Santo as well as a baseball glove endorsed by him

If you are interested in moving them please let me know.

I do a lot of Grace oddballs - pretty much anything except basic photos and non-pack or show issued sketch cards.

Hullfan · Oct 14, 2013

I do anything and everything as well for Willie Mcgee. Posters, McDonalds cups, Magazines, Team photos(if he is in it), Cookie boxes, Ice Cream wrappers, Cardinals recipe book (with his recipe in it),Season Ticket brochures. If he is on it or mentioned I want it. Unfortunately I started collecting him after retirement so It's getting harder and harder to find oddball stuff like that from his playing days especially since is not a superstar but a fan favorite.

If the price is right, I usually pick up Albert Belle stuff but cards are a far #1 when it comes to the collection.

Couple highlights are I own 3 game used bats, have one signed home jersey, couple signed baseballs, etc.

I have a bunch of unused flat RC Cola boxes that have the 1990 All-American Soda card still attached inside the box. Box also has a checklist of players from the set. There are no pics of players on the box. They are mint condition. Some players I know I have are Ozzie Smith, Will Clark, Kent Hrbek, Mark Mcgwire, Jose Canseco, Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor, ect. I don't have all of the players, and have only 1 or 2 of each guy. I also have 5 1992 Fleer/Citgo "The Performer" advertising signs. They are plastic and show use, but are from a regional issue and are not easy to find. The signs are approx. 1ft high by 2ft long and picture Henderson, Nolan Ryan, Strawberry, Griffey Jr, Ripken, Thomas, Clemens, and Fielder. I also have a bunch of old Kit Young catalogs that picture players on the covers.

ASTROBURN · Oct 14, 2013

Ive got signed bats, balls, 8x10s, starting lineups, and mcfarlanes. I tend to stick to cards now, unless it can fit in a binder like a book cover and such. For example, i have donruss pack wrappers, but they fit in an ultra pro and in my binder. I used to collect anything, but i dont have the room for it now. I keep my oddball stuff like triple headers and coins and donruss tins in my jumbo tins, which is about all i have room to display.

1st4040 · Oct 14, 2013

I've got cups, highland mint stuff, ornaments and statues etc.. in a box in my closet. bought a deal from a guy for a bunch of oddball stuff a while back and he threw in extras I didn't have as well. I keep these with the starting lineups because its too much odd shaped/sized stuff to ever display. I don't go crazy for magazines but if I got a deal on a big lot of them I would probably just add it to the pile. Honestly this stuff I won't put alot of time/money into anymore because there is just too much out there.

henderson939 · Oct 14, 2013

I know the non-card takes up a lot of room, but as far as being too much out there, you could say its worse for cards.

I have lots of game-used things from when Andre Ethier was a minor leaguer.
I have three signed bats he gave me and my wife when we went to most of the AA Midland games during the 2005 season.
We have a signed game used Texas League ball from him, and an entire 2005 Midland team signed ball.
We have signed programs, ticket stubs, pictures, a lineup card and of course his minor league cards are all signed, even his rare Arizona State University card is autographed.
I have a signed Dodgers cap as well.
But most of my memorabilia is his minor league stuff from when I watched him play and talked to him before the games.
My wife sat next to Andre's mom several times when she visited from Arizona.

This is a great idea.
