HypedUpSports.com Offers a Great Opportunity!

As a boy in the middle 1950's I got see my first major league baseball game in Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia. The Phillies played the Brooklyn Dodgers. Clem Labine pitched for the Dodgers, against the great Robin Roberts. Roy Campenella Hit a homer onto the roof in center field, but the Phillies won the game. I still have the program from that game, it is the first of a personal treasure of sports collectibles.

I have been blessed to get some very special items autographed by some of the biggest stars of several generations. I have a program from the 1968 MLB ALl Star Game autographed by Willie Mays, who scored the only run of the game. I have basketballs autographed by Wilt Chamberlain and Hakeem Olajuwan. I have a program from Mickey Mantle's funeral, and a bat signed by over thirty Hall of Fame baseball players. Maybe my favorite is a first day cover that is signed by both Nolan Ryan and President George H. W. Bush.

Knowing how much I love my autographed sports collectibles makes me believe that the opportunity being presented by HypedUpSports.com is a super duper idea. They have made arrangements with some of the truly great athletes of today to sign autographs on memorabilia sent in by fans who want to transform their pieces into true treasures. How cool would it be to have a jersey signed by either Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James or Michael Jordan?

Beginning My Baseball Card Collection

My collection of sports collectibles is pretty extensive, especially of baseball related items. When I was a boy, I collected baseball cards , keeping them in shoe boxes and cigar boxes. When I left home for college, I gave my cards to my little brother, who loved baseball nearly as much as me. When he left home for college, he passed them on to the neighbor boy that idolized him. That boy moved to Kansas, presumably with all those cards from the 1950’s!

In 1984, I went to a baseball collectibles show that was being held in the Dome Skeller, a dining area in the outfield behind the fences of the Astrodome. I only bought one card that day, an Alan Ashby card for my daughter, who thought he was cute! But I met an old acquaintance who was selling baseball cards. I stopped by to see him a few days later, in his shop. I bought a 1984 Donruss complete set. It was the start of a big hobby that has persisted till now!
