I still like he guy, regardless. Here are some of my collection. Base cards and inserts are in top loaders in a box. These are just for show

And my fav, besides the bat

Do you have any used syringes? Just sayin'.

MULLINS5 · March 5, 2015 7:52AM

I can't stand A-Rod, but I love your collection, nice work!

Dialj · March 5, 2015 8:01AM

Love the ARod items. Here is one my favorites.

Slabbed · March 5, 2015 8:15AM

Hey collect what you like.

elsnorto · March 5, 2015 8:34AM

Nice!

I don't follow baseball, but there has to be a ton of boxes that feature Arod on them, yes? Are those something you look to add to your collection too?

As much as a dig cards, they don't display particularly well, whereas lot of memorabilia... as your photos attest... do.

So a thumbs up on the shrine.

Fee amaan Arod.

<< <i>Hey collect what you like. >>

I agree. Just some good natured joshing.

baz518 · March 5, 2015 9:25AM

Very nice! I love seeing displays of player collections. Thanks for sharing.

skrezyna23 · March 5, 2015 9:55AM

Nice. Collect what you love. If and when I move back to the States, I need to do the same with my stuff.

byronscott4ever · March 5, 2015 10:07AM

Nice display, maybe add a case for the bat and a McFarlane figure?

dytch2220 · March 5, 2015 11:06AM

This is not nearly as creepy as the subject led me to believe. Nice collection!

skrezyna23 · March 5, 2015 11:29AM

Not sure if you are into A-Rod art but I thought you might be interested in this.

Nice grouping

epislash · March 5, 2015 11:38AM

Thanks all, yes I'm looking into a nice display for the bat. The mini helmet is really nice, nice silver sharpie. I like to have everything neat, kind of an ocd thing. But thanks for all the kind words. I'm sure I'll be building on it whenever I can.

I wonder if he would have been hated as much if he never left Seattle?

BeRoyalKC · March 5, 2015 1:48PM

Nice stuff. Use to heavily collect Doc Gooden.

Probstein123 · March 5, 2015 11:29PM

nice collection...

I think the yankees will release him within 100 days of the start of the season....

do you think he will make it the full year ?

<< <i>nice collection...

I'd be willing to bet the same, but I wonder if anyone else would pick him up? The trouble he is going to have is the $30+ million in incentives he could earn based on home runs... I don't think the Yankees will be able to void that portion of the contract and will end up releasing him to limit the amount of money they'll have to pay him.

Stone193 · March 6, 2015 5:15AM

Very nice display Peter - he's still a damn good player - who made some bad choices IMO.

yankeesman · March 6, 2015 8:02AM

Very very nice! In the immortal words of Lloyd Christmas:

StanTheManMusial · March 6, 2015 2:37PM

The bat signed in silver really pops. I admire your passion, and you have got a nice collection going there!

<< <i>The bat signed in silver really pops. I admire your passion, and you have got a nice collection going there! >>

Thank you. I got a great deal on that bat. It's upper deck authenticated. Have the coa and the box it came in from a guy I bought it from that got it when he played in Texas. I like the guy regardless. He's a great player and has some good left in him.

Kind of re living this thread....I saw a few posts on what he may do his first 100 games. Looks like he exceeded the expectations. I guess some of my pics have disappeared from my photobucket. My wife got me another great addition for my bday, which is next month. An autographed jersey. Man I can't wait to see that. It came in the mail yesterday but she hid it. I've gotten a ton more since I started this thread that when it's organized I'll take a few more photos. Love doing this and love seeing others collections as well.

I've got a few tough '90s inserts in my store that I'd trade for tough Frank Thomas cards, if interested.

A-Rods

epislash · August 11, 2015 5:22AM

Nice, I'll take a look. Unfortunately I don't own any Frank Thomas' would like that one in your sig though. Nice card

Mefer · August 11, 2015 6:40AM

A big hand for the collection!

(Sorry, couldn't resist; all kidding aside nice collection and display!)

The thing with A-Rod is that he has no discernible personality. I mean, he's never shown himself to be a guy with any sense of humor. He would go a long way towards repairing his image if he hosted SNL and made fun of himself and all the controversial things he's done in his career.

Thought I would add some Arod items to the thread. These have been in my position since 2000, and came directly from the rep that used to serviced Arod. I work with him, and he also grabbed me a pair of Griffey shoes as well. Neat thing is these have all of the factory tags on them, and as you can see Arod had his nickname on the tongue and heel as well as his #3. Debating on whether I should hold on to them and get them signed for the man cave or put them on Ebay. Enjoy.

I'm not a fan but can appreciate the awesomeness of your collection
