I'm not a collector of larger-sized items like bats, gloves, jerseys and such, not even baseballs. I used to have a dozen or so signed baseballs but most of those are gone now. I had a Nolan Ryan signed seat back from the old Arlington Stadium, that's been sold. No room to display them, so why have them if they just sit in a box in the closet right?

I've had bats, in fact I used to have a small bat collection. The only ones left are a Dick Schofield model that was his when he played for the Angels in the 90's and a signed Harmon Killebrew that was recently given to me. Again, I just don't have the room.
But I'm more than happy to get a relic card like those above. Just a piece of a bat is more like it.
These all came in a TCDB trade with MMehler30.
These recently came in from Stuart...

Hooray for more TCDb trades! I still love the designs of earlier relic cards, especially from the Donruss/Leaf/Playoff heyday. Wilmy Caceres and Elpidio Guzman are from a time when I probably could have recognized almost any current MLB name you threw at me. Now it feels like 75% of active players are bullpen guys. Anyway, I also don't tend to chase after larger items but I've had a few sent to me by some generous folks and I really appreciate that they did that.
