Dmitri Young's collection

Stumbled upon this today: I had a Darryl Strawberry rookie too

Thanks for the article. It is nice to see some of the current players appreciate the history of the game and are willing to spread the word to the next generation.

Are there any other active players that collect that anyone knows about? What about retired players? I have heard that Dan Schatsitter (I know the spelling is wrong, but that's what it sounds like!) collects. And there was a former knuckle ball pitcher that was featured in SMR that collects, but I can't think of his name.

Stingray

Tom Candiotti is who you are thinking of.

Stingray:

Dan Schatzeder is also an active collector

also - GAI is selling a DVD featuring some of the cards from Dmitri's collection

Has a Clemente rookie sold for $250,000??? (That sounds REALLY high even if was a PSA 10.)

Dmitri does shop around the local hobby stores in Detroit. He only buys the highest grade for any card. He has a local dealer that manages his buying for him.

It looks like Dimitri will have his collection of PSA 10 HOF rookie cards on display at the National this year...

Yes, I wish I coud go just to see them, I saw a picture of that Jackson rookie it is awesome. I know he should have enough money to buy all of these gem rookie cards!

Gary Carter was/is a collector. Also, there have been articles about Reggie Jackson buying up copies of his rookie card, and Andre Dawson being seen wandering card show aisles and making assorted buys.

As Stingray mentioned, Tom Candiotti is a big collector. In fact, several of his cards, including the PSA 8 T206 Plank, are pictured in Joe Orlando's book "The Top 200 Sportscards in the Hobby".

I wonder how many of his cards are in BCCG holders.

Afterall a BCCG 10 is gold!

Maybe I will stop by and beg him to let me win a PSA 9 Yount rookie on ebay. He's won something like the last 10 of them...and the last one went for $727! That card usually sells around $400 or less when he's not involved.

Is he cracking and resubbing?

Patrick Roy is rumored to have one of the finest hockey card collections anywhere.

WinPitcher

He must be cracking them and sending them to BCCG I hear you can make a ton of money doing that.

Phil Hughes used to frequent Becketts and seems to be a collector.

If he is, I doubt he's getting any bumps! Some of the 9's he's picked up were low end at best. I'm beginning to regret having sold the 9 I had a year ago...

D. Youngs cards will be on display at the National at the PSA booth I believe.
