It's Belle auctions like this which make me go "WTF?!"

[MansGame]

Mansgame - I wanted to introduce myself to you. I am a big Albert Belle collector. I don't know how "big time" I am and I'm sure your collection blows mine out of the water but I'm trying to build it up. I currently have the following Belle items...

- about 15-20,000 singles
- a book of "high dollar" Belle cards (for Albert $10+ qualify as high dollar. My last addition was a 98 Purple Crusade.)
- 73 game used/autographed cards
- game used pants (the entire pants) from game 1 of the 1995 world series
- 14 autographed baseballs, 2 autographed helmets, 1 autographed jersey
- numerous oddball items (albert belle candy bar, beanie babie, magazine covers, ect.)

I can upload some pics if you'd like to see some of what I have. And perhaps my most memorable Albert Belle item is the fact that he is the main reason why I got this tattoo back in 2005...

Good stuff! Welcome to the site! Great place to be and it's good to hear from another Belle guy. Not sure if we've ever connected before but I'll fire you a PM and chat more!

Topps set collectors are willing to go pretty high.. I've sold 2 different Canseco topps autos recently that got better than 3-4 times my original purchase price($40 at most for both) and well above what any player collector was offering.

Yea, I can see that. It's definitely a set collector on this Belle.
