I was just thinking of some recent events. First off, I doubt Hamilton collects cards, but Perkins does.

He said a couple nights ago when asked if there was anyone on the Twins that he looked up too as a kid, that he admired Kent Hrbek. He also said he had a stack of Hrbek cards he had as a kid, and still has them. Granted, I doubt he buys constantly, but I am sure he adds a couple cards every now and then.

I was thinking, when I pulled a Hrbek RC from a grab bag yesterday, that I should give it to him :lol:

But, what's interesting, is that he collects Hrbek for the same reason I collect Perk... both are MN kids who played for the Twins.

So, does your favorite player do any collecting that you know about?

Schilling mainly collects WWII memorabilia but does also collect baseball memorabilia. At one point, he was pictured in Beckett with his room of sports collectibles. He has an absolutely insane collection.

I know he doesn't collect his own stuff because I had the chance to discuss it with him. Knowing that, I gave him his first game used card at a recent autograph signing. He was blown away by it. :lol:

I just found out a few weeks ago that Dawson hoards his 93 Finest Refs. with the goal of trying to own all of them.

Why, I have no idea. The story I heard is just hearsay, but I know there aren't many of them available anymore.
