You all have very nice stuff. Very impressed, BillyHallFan you got a very nice collection. I can't post my decent size collection on here cuz I don't have a digital camera. Well that and I don't think anyone wants to see a bunch of Colts stuff to go along with my old early 90s Brewers 8x10s.

[mattsr0625]

just wondering if anyone has anything other that bobbleheads. like old school brewers stuff, bats, oddball stuff. i would like to see that if anyone has any.

[jason21nl]

you want oddball stuff....you cant get more oddball than the Jeff Cirillo jock.

I would, hey just wondering, did you have a 20 pack in the terrace resv, like in 423-424? And have season tickets for the colts?

[radman12484]

No had a 20 pack in the bleachers though. And I try to make at least one game a year for the Colts, doesn't look like I'll make it this year.

[billyhallfan]

ok, because i met a guy that sat next to us who was a big colts fan and had colts season tickets, and was just wondering if it was you?

 

but obviously not.

[Cracked Bat Collector]

Nice stuff all of you, billyhall fan, that's an amazing room haha.

I know most don't care for Mr. Bonds but I have a Exclusive 1 of 200 world series figure. It includes a piece of a base from the world series.

I also have quite a few Brewer bobbles (almost complete) and sga's from other teams I have traded for from some of my friends I met on another board. But for some reason I can't find the pictures and to lazy (too much turkey today) to take new ones right now.

[Paul77]

Seriously, McFarlane wall. Dang.

[billyhallfan]

that is an awesome collection, welcome to the board, i think you will like it here.

 

you will fit right in.

[PeaveyFury]

For those that display auto'd cards, what do you use?

 

I'm currently using pro-mold one-screw holders, but I was wondering if anyone was using UV protecting holders of some kind?

[radman12484]

If you go to www.pennzonidisplay.com they have a bunch of stuff there for displays.

Sorry I am a little late and sorry if I used too many pics. I didn't post everything but this is most of the good stuff. I have all the Brewers SGAs except mini brat as you can probably tell. I also have a good deal of minor league nodders and a 1975 Hank Aaron. In addition, I have a lot of the Forever collection Brewers bobbles.

 

The auto balls are: In the first pic: Fielder, Weeks, Hardy, Braun and Molitor, in the second pic: Frank Thomas, Gallardo, La Porta and Cordero. The bat is game used and signed by Mel Stocker. I also got frames for all my 8x10's, but I have not put them up yet. I also have a really cool 11x14 signed by Donald Driver and Ruvell Martin but my camera ran out of batteries. It's my favorite photo of all the ones I have, looks really cool. I also have a few thousand cards but I lost interest in cards after I turned about 13.

The Frank Thomas auto ball is also game used, Big Hurt gave it to me after a game at County Stadium in the early 90s. That is probably my favorite piece because of the story behind it. The retro Capuano is probably my favorite bobblehead because it also has a story.

 

[Paul77]

Were you ever able to figure out where Stocker used that bat at?

[MelGroceryStocker]

Nope. I sent out three of four emails and each time they would tell me he wore a different number and then give me the name of a new team to contact. I eventually got lazy but there were still a few teams to try.

[mattsr0625]

this is one of my new items for in my collection. its a custom prince fielder from his days with the sounds.http://images.photo.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B7%3Dot%3E2328%3D488%3D557%3DXROQDF%3E23242%3A7%3A789%3C9ot1lsi

 

 

[MelGroceryStocker]

I saw that on tfry's site. It is sweet. I would pay for one of those or a custom Weeks.

[berniebrewer4life]

I would just like to say i love this thread. It has given me many ideas for when i finally get my own house and have to room to have a sports room.

[Paul77]

A lack of funds and a renewed interest in custom figures has slowed down my collection adding habits lately but I've been able at add the following...

 

Autographed poster. Awesome. I also finally framed and matted the large jersey swatch (center of photo) signed by Jenkins.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/ilookback/34Bsized.jpg

 

The Weeks, the Sheets and the Gagne are new. Missing from the picture are a new Manny Parra and Ted Simmons. I'm working on a new Bill Hall at the moment.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/ilookback/customROW1.jpg

 

I also got a 1982 "Sportrait" of the Milwaukee Brewers that is really nice as well. I was able to just add a bunch more vintage Brewer Starting lineup figures at Christmas time.

 

I hate posting "in progress" pic's of these because I'm so critical of my own work, but here's a sneak preview of the Ted Simmons figure I'm working on. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/ilookback/sim1.jpg

A LOT of work has gone into this one so far, more so than any other one I've done. The face, neck, cheeks, hair, legs and waist had to be re-sculpted, something I had never done before. A bunch of the catchers gear had to be removed and trimmed. I had to remove portions of each leg.... I'm not done yet, lots of work/touch ups left to do yet. I don't think it's great by any means but I certainly feel like I've learned a bunch by doing it. I consider this one a "practice" figure. I think the next Simmons will be much better.
