I don't collect them but I have some. I don't have all the autographs I ever got though. Anyone have a neat collection? Some of the autographs I have got range in household names to "no name" players. I don't care about the "value".

Some of the names I have collected over the years:

Mo Vaughn, Cecil Espy, Dave Winfield, Jim Rice, Wade Boggs, Ron Francis, Sid Bream, Johnny Damon, Tony Clark, Shea Hillenbrand, Marlon Starling, Lawrence Taylor, Ellis Burks, Trot Nixon, Deion Sanders, Mark Eaton, Ron Harper, Wayne Gretzky, Larry Parrish, Tommy John, Cal Ripken, Paul Pierce, Kevin McHale, Sylvain Turgeon, Rebecca Lobo, Mike Liut and more.

I don't collect autographs but I do have Vinnie Johnson, Jerry Glanville (LOL), and oh yeah, Joe Montana. I am more into collecting cards.

That is quite a collection Sherm... I guess we are the few that were not able to attend the bash.

Do you collect any cards?

Not really I used to. The only thing I have left is a collection of Ellis Burks cards. I have about 25,000 of his, but nothing new since about 96.

Hi guys,

After my grandma past on a few months ago, I had to clean out her house. While doing so, I found a box with sport memorabilia, most of which I gave to my sister. One box of cards got left behind. It's unopened....of some kind of baseball card stamps. It's the size of a trading card and on the front of the box it says

FIRST EDITION
HOF
BASEBALL HALL OF FAME HEROES
OFFICIAL BASEBALL CARD STAMPS

On the top of the box says
STAMPS ARE VALID FOR POSTAGE IN ST VINCENT AND GRENADINES

On one side of the box says
BASEBALL CARD STAMP IS LEGAL FOR POSTAGE

On the other side of the box says
A UNIQUE FIRST IN THE TRADING CARD INDUSTRY

The box itself measures 2.5 X 3.5 inches. I don't know how many cards are in the box cause it's still sealed in the original clear wrap, but I would guess there's about 5. The box itself looks pretty old but it's in pretty good shape.

Anyone want it? I have no use for it. You know what they say, one persons junk is another persons treasure....

I'll send it to the first person who express an interest in them....free of charge.

Unless you are younger than 12, collecting autographs is gay.
