Sports Collectibles Thread

Since football is over and fishing is limited in the winter, I have been trying to restart some of my sports memorabilla collecting. I kept my old collection from childhood together for the most part (at least everything of any value), and decided if I can find decent deals I will get stuff I couldn't get back then.

So far, I picked up a set of 89 Topps hockey for $10 that has the Leetch rookie in it. I got a Steve Largent rookie card (my first favorite NFL guy) and a couple of 86 Mattingly's (86 was the first year I started getting waxpacks.) Then, I got a wild hair. The one classic card I got as a kid was a 68 Topps Hank Aaron (probably would score vg-ex now.) I decided to compliment it was the other great outfielders available from that year. I scored a 68 Topps Mays and Clemente, and I have a bid on the Mantle. I hope I can get the Mantle, but it is very close to my top end and several folks are eyeballing to outbid me.

Finally, I found a handful of 1956 Topps in an antique shop. No fortunes to be made, but they had G-VG shape Don Newcombe and Bob Lemon, so I grabbed those as keepsakes.

Now it is time to think about Rangers stuff. This is weird, because I basically have all the cards from the 92, 94, and 96 teams. So, I have been looking for other stuff. I have found the June 15 edition of the Daily News that has the photo of Leetch's first goal in Game 7 against the Cannucks. I don't know if I want the paper or the photo framed. I think it was credited to an SI photographer, so I am wondering if it is in the Sports Illustrated commemorative issue (lots of those on Ebay for around $15.)

What are some of the things you guys hunt for? While I love VT football, I feel a bit awkward hanging up man cave stuff when I am not an alum, but feel free to share cool things you run across. If I had the space, I would love to get a framed shot of Jonathan Crompton getting murdered by Dorian Porch at the end of the ChickFilA Bowl.

Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, No Horus eye
No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chain
Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
