Baseball is more than a sport, it's a way of bringing families back together, remembering the days when games were affordable, remembering when summer practices took up many evenings and when fall meant more than Halloween -- it was playoff time!
Yes, we love baseball and baseball collectibles.
I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950's and anyone from that time era knows....
EVERYONE in Brooklyn was a Dodgers fan.
Back then we rooted against the Yankees and the Giants --
the feelings ran deep against those two teams, as any Brooklynite can tell you.
But time changes things, it's been a long time since living in Brooklyn,
and now we are a sort-ofYankee fan. Which is probably a good enough reason to
take away my Brooklyn birthright.
When talking about baseball collectibles, many people think first of baseball cards. Although card collecting is very popular, there are many other ways to collect. For example autographs on cards, balls, caps or balls. Bobbing head dolls from teams and individual players, card sets, team apparel, vintage equipment, Starting Lineups, pins, pennants and baseball art are just a few ways to go. There are even baseball cookie jars!
