Most folks know me here as the Royals collector, but what brought me to TCDb is that I'm a super collector of Alex Gordon and Jermaine Dye, collecting the Royals as a team was actually born out of trading on this site!

Here are some fun stats I track on collecting these two guys:

Totally agree with you on that. I do own an Ozzie Smith Topps Candy dispenser from the late 80's or early 90's, but that is still not as cool as a light switch cover. I've also had chances to own pieces of actual NASCAR cars. I just don't know where the heck I can put an entire car bumper in my house!!! Or a hood or a deck lid. I'd love to have them, but what do I do with them when I get them?

I hear that. One of the reason I haven't gone after Tony Gwynn posters is because I would have no place to store them, I can't imagen trying to find a place to store a freaking car hood!

All racing for me. I tried to collect every VIP racing set made, I have most of them. Then Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton, Regan Smith, and Jason Keller. I have all kinds of stuff for Tony, diecast, model cars, christmas ornaments, keys, pennants, ink pens, golf balls, cups, mugs, pez despensers, a 1/18 scale r/c car, a 1/64 r/c car. clocks, watches, hats, t-shirts, I even have some of the placemat things they put on trays a burger king when they sponsered him. Pretty much you name it I got it. Oh and cards of course, and popcorn tins too lol
